As the author has not prefixed his name, I fhould have paid little attention to an anony mous publication, if I had not been aflured, from very good authority, that the work in quefiion was compiled from the original jour nals. Not refiing however upon this intel ligence, I took the liberty of applying to Mr. Muller himfelf, who, by order of the Emprefs, had arranged the fame journals, from which the anonymous author is faid to have drawn his materials. Previous to my application, Mr. Muller had compared the treatife with the original papers and he fa voured me with the following firong tellimony to its exaftnefs and authenticity: Vous fer s bien de traduire pour l’ufage de vos compatriotes le petit livre fur les ifles fitu s entre le Kamtchatka et l’amerique.
