In the death of governor Lewis the public behold the wreck of one of the noblest of men-he was a pupil of the immortal Jefferson-by him he was reared-by him he was instructed in the tour of the sciences-by him he was introduced to public life, when his enterprising soul, great botanical knowledge, acute penetration, and personal courage soon pointed him out as the most proper person to command a projected exploring party to the N.west coast of the American continent. . . . A new world had been explored-additional knowledge in all the sciences obtained, at a trifling expense of blood and treasure. The voice of fame echoed the glad tidings through the civilized world-the name of Lewis was the theme of universal praise.
