Fellow. Chiz.ru, f S
IT fias been remarked that Mr. Adam,', book q„n'
' 11 truf tb " preface of ,h c fi rtt vo . , Q ),
lume if dated irt January *787, hut it is a Ja& tha'
thethii'd voluifie was published after he was jpaflef
' fed of the federal conftiturion, whffch is annexed to
tv the constitution ; and that it contains, as wc have
fhewt), some of the passages which are nv>ft op
pof«d to that instrument in principle. The (ftf
courfcs vpon Dav'tla too, are the mod forcible cor
roborations of this oppofiticn, and upon theftrong
presumption, thac they are the work j»f Mr. A
dims they amount to an aS'i-ot unfriendl'tneft to the
tffential and cardinal principle of all our constitu
tions, both of the dates and of the onion. They
tend at this time to invite tli* intetpafuion of the
foreign monarchies in our affairs, however different
were certainly the views, with which they were
written.
It has been *lfo observed that Mr. Adams's
book was written before his two elections, and yet
; that the people had confided in him as vice-presi
dent. It is however true that the third volume,
being publifhc-d in London in 1788) could not be ftjr fa!e
-j in the America* Book-stores before the measures were
taken for the firft eledlio*. But what is much more im»
n( j portaat and is absolutely true, the books were not read*
r much less Studied ia America, for books intended to
display great historical events and relating to the prin
ciples of government are »»t to be perused like a sum*
mer'stale—an amusing fible for an August day. By
the writer of t-hel'e papers the fecund and third Volumes
, had never been seen, except so far as their ontfides ia
the library of fon»e other person.« And tho' the firft
volume had been a dlually pur-chafed, from frntiments
of refpedt to Mr. Adams's character and flat ran, it is a
truth, that other vacations and other books had occa
sioned it never to be either Studied or perused. Its con
tents and principles ware Hot know* 'till within a year
or two last past, when other circumstances of the nature
of the book, rendered Mr. Adams's work anohje<st of
or attentioa io many. Phocion fays, he has Seen much of
America and its inhabitants, and thai he has never
heard a wifli for any other form of government than a
Republic. The specimens he has given of re-state
ments even of the Written opinions and delites of oth
ers cannot inspire the Electors with confidence in his ac
curacy, in regard to what may have been orally deliv
ered before him. He too, Rke Mr. Adaias, may con
sider a limited monarchy as properly a republic,.and
he may deem a wife for a constitution like that «f G.
Britain, as only a desire of having another " form" of
— a republic, which Mr. Adams unequivocally afll-rts the
it, conkitutksn of England in truth to be. It rs our on
if. ihaken opinion, that the establishment of the Bank of
the United States was very much to -be-defired—that
neither this nor any ether civilized nation can avoid
the use of the excise mode of revenue, sooner or later
—that the funding of public debts which cannot he
paid off when due, is as much a matter of fimphy'B/Wct,
of prudence and of natural conrle, aa the eivmg of a
common bond and securing it by mortgage for a j riva;«
debt—that the chcck given to Mr. Genet by the Lxe-
S, eutire was perfefllv justifiable and necessary, and in
rt, fh'rt that many ails for which this government fas*
been blaiqed were fabjefls of merited approbatioc.
B»t with these Sentiments it is a folenwi truth that we
— have fekferious anxieties at the txijlence and gra<ujtb
of the anti-constitutional do<3rine of hereditary power
',ur bn-ve nilually irrcmrd. We have fceen ex
r- ? !icit in regard to thisfubjeft on account of the decla
ration of Pbocxm, that he has heard no wifbes for anv
> but "publican government—We knciv it to exist, and
we wiih it were only i* common minds, and in perfo*r
!e r '^^ c infiuenct. It is the true cause of the present
refpc<£tfui addreft to tkc Understandings, and patriotifra
Of the E'eftors. r
It is particularly nrceffary to remark, that there
have bee* Jiveml partial and general editions of Mr.
Adams's work. Ths firft voiume was published ifl
Philadelphia by Hall and Sellers, and the whole 3
volumes were printed in London. Other edition®
have been printed, it,is believed in the Eafleri) Slates,
The size of the paper, types and paging have dif
ie f,red more or fcfs. The Preface in the Philadelv
,n phia Duodecimo occupies foventetn pages, but in
the (London edition it covers twenty-fix pages.—
■ t Sometimes it appears, that the preface is meant to
be referred to by writers in the Gaseues, when how
— ever they express themselves so, that thereader sup.'
poses it is the main body of the work. No volume
« numbered on the back, as the firft, beciufe, when
£ the hrit volume was published in Europe and in A
raerrca, it is manifeft that the author delivered it
*? the world as an entire work, without any intima
tion of pubhfhing a second and third volume. The
main body of the work, in this firft valume,
tamed in a little more than 389 pages in the Phi.
ladelphia copy, and occupies 392 pages in the Lon
don edition. These remarks upon the different edi
jj tuns wA pacing: and upon the preface and the main
wort are recommended to particular attention, be
cause they will obviate some diffatisfaftion which
. has been excited by the idea of designed raifquo
' tat 10ns. Iwo examples will be given. Time doe»
not adsait of stating more. A writer from Hen
rico, in Virginia, animadverts with feeling, Hpon
some opponent of Mr. Adams, for quoting a pas.
, [ 3g '* ai fro " 1 j hc Bth P»ge of his work, and fays,
he has read that page, and can find no fueh sen
tence in it, as wai given by the writer he is oppof.
ing. Now it is found, on examination, that th«
passage referred to is substantially, in the feventl,
, page of Hall and Seller,'s Philadelphia edition, and
in the ninth page of the London edition, It so
not 1* the eighth page of either of those editions, so
that the quoter must have had another copy. But
further, it is in and not in the mainlodv
of the work. The passage is materila, and is fair
jy given to the world as Mr. Adam, wrote it w
. T 2 en I ,leman mentioned " monarchy" i B the
slofeof the preceding paragraph, and then gave the
oilowtng words, except the word monarchy, which
..nowputinto a parenthesis, and not in Italics, for
the lake of ft net accuracy.——

u not iecaufe they are fupportedly no ile, and a fa.
!, °f rank s ; Sovemmenu, ,{ m

natnti of office:, and ranks too."
So, again, in the 2id page of the London fire
/«r, and in .he I Jth of the preface of Hall and
Sellers s editron, it is said, that a limitud monarchy
