Excerpt from Depping's Evening Entertainments: Comprising Delineations of the Manners and Customs of Various Nations Mr. Oakley was not long absent from his family: on the evening after his return, as soon as the tea-service was removed, Captain Martin drew from his portfolio of sketches one which afforded the children no little amusement, and furnished a text for a discourse of the traveller concerning the Indians of North America. This picture, said the Captain, was drawn while I was travelling in Canada. It represents some of the Indians bargaining with our people, and disposing of their furs for English goods of various kinds. The old fellow with a beard, in the right foreground, is a Jew of our party, who is affecting to be very much horrified at the Indian chief's asking him for a fox's skin, about half what we all knew it to be worth.
