THE want ot fufficient information of the
ftatc trials of Gieai-Britain in the early
periods of that government is now lamented :
Hi herto there hath been buc one trial in the
ftatc of Pennsylvania on impeachment :—ar.d
heiealfo it is to be regretted, that, being neg
lected at the time, the public are now left with
out ftifficicnt information on the fubjett of that
trial, it is however in this -work designed to ref
cucjwhat can be colle&cd theieof from sources
of indifputaple authority, f 0 that the fame lhall
be preserved from oblivion.
Another impeachment and the second is now
depending. An officer is charged by the late
Honfe of Reprcfentatives, who hath for many
years been largely confided in by this state, and
filth Jong b en at the head of the financial de
panmeni of the fame, and it imports the citi
zens to know his condu£t, and thecircum{laflees
which may be brought foiward on his trial.
Ih this work the Editor will be careful to
state the fails, as they may be brought forward,
and to lay all the evidence and papers before
the public.—With this view—
The following Terms are refpeßfully
fulmitted to the Public :
I. The Work shall be printed in o&avo, with a
good type, on fine paper, and delivered to
fubferibers at the refpeftive places where the

the length of the present trial, the fir.e of the
volume cannot be ascertained at this time—
But the price (hail not exceed that of fomeof
the latest publications in this city.
111. It will contain all the preliminaries and in
cidental circumstances that may occur during
the trial of John Nicholfon, Esquire, Comp
troller-General of this commonwealth, with
thearguments of counfrl on boih fides,logether
with the articles of impeachment, and the
pleas ahd replications at large, the fevcral le
f 'luiions of the two branches of the state Le
gislature, refpe&ing this impeachment, and
the final decilion of the SENATE refpc&ing
that officer.
To which will be prefixed, as much as can be
collr&ed from authentic documents, of the im
