It has lately been given to the public with a pre face by ,his son at Edin burgh, has.already pair ed ""through three or four editions, and hasbeentranfla ted and pub lished in French at Paris. Mr. Robertfon in his preface cbferves, " During the course of tedious illness, which he early forefaw would have a fatal termination, Dr. Rebertfon at different times destroyed many of his papers: But after his death, 1 found that part o the History of (British) America which he had wrote many years before, and which is now offer ed to the public. It is written with his own hand as all his works were ; it is as carefully corre&ed as any part of his manufccipts which I have ever fecn ; and he had thought it worthy of being pre served, asit efcapcd the flames to which so many other papers had keen committed. I read it with the utmost attention ; but, * efore I came to any rcfolution about the publication, I put the MSS. into the hands of some of those friends whom my father used to consult en such oecafioiis.ai it would have been rafhnefsand presumption in me, to have trusted to my own partial decision.

Ike Editor of the Paris Edition apoftropbizes the above work in the folloTuing manner. " Every thing ensures success to this volume the talents and reputation of the author, and the impression Hill recent in the minds of all who have read the excellent work of which this is the com pletion—all conspire to give'it an extensive spread. The hillory of America was the mafler-picce of one of the two ablest, < r rather one if the two only modern historians.
