The work begins with a dedication to Baudelot de Dairval and a full table of contents. The body of the text is organized into chapters concerning various aspects of the lives and types of evidence relating to the Amazons. There is an “Addenda” on pp. 381–98 that includesdiscussions of Christopher Columbus, cannibalism, and Amazons in the New World. The book ends with another index.

The present work studies the geology of Kentucky, its pre-contact indigenous history, and the indigenous history of the East Coast, the west to the Mississippi, and the area as far south as the gulf coast. His linguistic table at the beginning of the work compares New and Old World and even Polynesian words. Wide ranging, this work is a wonderful mix of ahead-of-its-time thinking and off-the-wall and off-the-mark speculation presented as fact.

Dedication page with rubber-stamped numeral in lower margin, with pencilled note “withdrawn.” This copy without the pocket and two folding maps expected therein — with no sign or trace of their removal at the back of the volume, but curiously with many blank leaves after the last plate, as if to balance the non-present maps, and with the portion of the “list of plans” relevant to the absent maps obscured by an affixed rectangle of matching paper. A solid, internally clean, eminently enjoyable copy of these important observations, priced to reflect its “omissions.” (39549)
