7 so great a diversity will be obsenredf thai it is necessary to remind
8 the reader, that they aie all of the aame fMe^ apeak the same langniiigiv
9 and form one nation.
10 Ail the preceding account applies to every tribe, tmle<?s where it
11 has b^D limited at the time, or where it ia ooDtradicted ia the
12 lowing description.
13 I shall begin with an account of lb.' I^Litlouraunees, and among
14 them of the tribe of Eusolzve. Tiiouiili tlie EusofTives afford an
15 uiitkvourable spt t imen of the character and manners of il u Aighauns,
16 yet they display main of the peculiarities of their nation in more
17 perfection tlian miy other tribe. WTien the whole of their liistitu-
18 tions have been explained, those of the other Berdooraunees may be
19 shewn aa modifications of the same system, and those of the southern
20 and waatem trib^ may be rendered intelligible* by comparing them
21 wiUi ifaia itandaid.
