THE AMERICAN MUSEUM, from its
commencement in January,' 1787, to its
termination in December, 1792, in twelve vo
lumes, price, neatly hound and lettert d t nine
teen dollars and one fifth.
The opinion of the President of the United
Stare l ?, refprfting this work, is as follows -
" I bc4icve the American Museum has met
wit h extensive, I may fay, with univerlal ap
probation from competent judges ; for I am of
opinion, that the woik is not only eminently
calculated io difleminate political, agricultural,
philosophical, and other valuable information ;
But that it has been uniformly conduced with ta/lc,
Attention, arid propriety. If to thefc important
objc&s be fupri added the more immediate dc
fign of rcfcuiog public documents from obli
vion—l will venture to pronounce, as my (en
timent, that a more usetul literary
PLAN HAS. NEVER BEEN UNDERTAKEN £*}
America, or one more deserving of rus-
LIC ENCOURAGEMENT."
