MANUSCRIPTS OF OBSERVATIONS DURING OUR TRAVELS.
Great is the variety of details preying upon a traveller's mind simultaneously
whilst crossing large tracts of land novel to him and partly unexplored by previous
observers. Einally, when he arrives at thinking over his impressions and at the heavier
task of working up his manuscripts, he would be bewildered by the multiplicity of
facts, had he not followed a certain plan in his books. Thus, in travelling already
much assistance can be obtained from keeping the writings as subdivided as possible.
I had made it our rule to use one general book at a time, but its sheets were num-
bered, and a detailed preliminary division of space had been made for the various
branches. As an additional modification apparently of minor importance, but useful,
I can recommend the English practice of writing manuscripts on one page only; this
allows one to cut off what, in a final arrangement, he may wish to place elsewhere,
without its being requisite to make subdivisions and quotations; and such manuscripts
can easily be brought into any systematic form the subjects may require.
Our manuscripts of observations are bound together at present from forty-six volumes,
two of which, the relics of our poor brother Adolphe, only reached us January 10th 1862,
