FOR THE SECOND EDITION.

The importance of the question: Where are the Ten Tribes of Israel? the speedy sale of the first edition of this work; and the obtaining considerable additional evidence relative to the origin of the American Indians;—have led the way to the publishing of a second edition of this View. Additional evidences are adduced from various SOURCES; especially from Hunter’s Narrative—Baron Humboldt on the Kingdom of New Spain—and the American Archeology. These authors, without particular design, have furnished what is deemed material evidence upon this subject.

Some objections are noted, and replies made to them. The writer has had his ears open to objections; and he is of opinion that none have been made, but what are capable of a fair solution.
