"Of the two accounts Jewitt left of himself, the ... Journal kept at Nootka sound must, as an historical record, take precedence over his second testament, A narrative of the adventures and sufferings of John R. Jewitt. The latter has gone through many editions since its first publication in Middletown, Connecticut, in 1815, while the Jjournal has never until now been reprinted."--introd., p. x.
