London,: Cadell, 1801. First Edition. viii,cxxxii,412,[2]pp, plus three folding maps, frontispiece portrait.There is foxing mostly in the first half of the work Quarto boards with new calf spine with gold stamped black leather label This classic of North American exploration describes the extraordinary travels of the author in northwest America in 1789, when he discovered the Mackenzie River, and in 1793, when he crossed the continent to the Pacific. Mackenzie also provides an excellent history of the fur trade in Canada, as well as vocabularies of several Indian languages. The "Map of Mackenzie's track from Ft. Chippewa to the Pacific Ocean in 1793" was a milestone and, as Wheat says, "At once questions began to be raised about the now patent inadequacies of all prior maps of the American Far West." A cornerstone in any collection of North American travel and exploration. Howes M133. Wheat Transmississippi 251. Graff 2630. Hill, p.187. Lande 1317. Peel 25. Pillling 2384. Sabin 43414.

London: T. Cadell, Jun. & W. Davies, 1802. Second edition. Leather Bound. pp. xiv, 290; 332. 8vo. Bound in 3/4 burgundy leather, with raised bands and gilt lettering and decoration to spines. Plain endpapers. The oval frontispiece portrait, by Lawrence, is present, but alas the two maps called-for in this edition, are missing. Wagner-Camp notes that 'Mackenzie discovered the river that now bears his name, and descended it to the Arctic Ocean in 1789. In 1793, he became the first European to cross the North American continent north of Mexico'. This volume includes both voyages, and also includes the author's 'General History of the Fur Trade from Canada to the North-West' (pp. i-cxxiii), and vocabularies of the 'Chepewyan tongue', and the 'Knisteneaux and Algonquin tongues'. See Peel 55; Sabin 43415; Wagner-Camp 1:2.

On the way back he heard reports of the western sea and of another great river, likely the Yukon, and of white traders, who may have been those exploring the coast. His trip from Fort Chipewyan to the Arctic and return lasted about three months and a half. Having resolved to continue exploration to the west, he returned to England to purchase instruments in preparation for the difficult task ahead of him. He left Fort Chipewyan on October 12, 1792.
