DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, TO WIT.

District Clerk's Office.

Be it remembered, that on the fifth day of April, A. D. 1830,
in the fiftyfourth year of the Independence of the United States of
America, Hilliard, Gray, Little, and Wilkins, of the said district have
deposited in this office the title of a book, the right whereof they
claim as proprietors, in the words following, to wit:β€”

`Tales of the Northwest; or, Sketches of Indian Life and Character.
By a Resident beyond the Frontier.



Long have I roved in western clime,
In forests hoary with the frosts of time;
Where the lone traveller, startled from his dream,
Lists to the wolf's dire howl, the panther's scream;
Where the red Indian glides with silent pace
Upon the victim of his murd'rous chase.

In conformity to the act of the Congress of the United States, entitled
`An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of
maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies
during the times therein mentioned;' and also to an act, entitled `An
act supplementary to an act, entitled β€œAn act for the encouragement
of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the
authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned;”
and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing,
engraving, and etching historical and other prints.'

JNO. W DAVIS,
Clerk of the District of Massachusetts.

PRINTED BY I. R. BUTTS....BOSTON.
