LITERARY INTELLIGENCE
The Rev. Mr. Harris has issued Proposals for publishing the Journal of his Tour in the territory North West of the Allegany Mountains; to be illustrated with Maps and Views. The Prospectus leads us to expect much topographical information respecting an interesting part of our country, of which there have been published only vague and exaggerated accounts; with some curious particulars of the appearance, dimensions and probable history, of the prodigious forts and pyramidical mounds on the banks of the Muskingum and Scioto—'the military evidences of a great population in some remote, forgotten period.'
It is hoped that a work so valuable and curious will be favored with the most liberal patronage.
