CUM ingratum dixeris, tnniadixijli; that is, tax a man with, ingratitude, and you accu/e him of every Jpedes oj baseness : This ancient maxim applies to nations as well as to indi viduals. For what is a nation but an aggre gate of moral agents, receiving its charac ter from rhc'ir principles and conduct ? Sorry should I be, Messrs. Printers, and ashamed at the fame time, were I to con ceive myfelf the citizen of a nation damped with the infamy of this fruitfnl crime. But, nntwithftanding the unconcern exprefled by some, and the exultation by others, at tbe late tragical event In France, 1 trust and be lieve that the fentitrent of pity has greatly prevailed throughout tbefe dates, and that the fenty>ility of tbe sternest republicans a mong us, has been Ihocked and affliQed at the bloody deed. Louts, fays Thomas Paine, is the befi friend of the American people, who conjider themjelves as indebted to him for their liberty. Shall Americans be aihamed to profefs in their own lard of liberty a sentiment thus hazarded in the face of the Convention ? Forbid it decency* forbid it* gratitude, forbid it humanity. Neither the vicissitudes of human grandeur, nor the fluc tuation of power and dignities, can obliterate the remembrance of a benefactor, from a generous mind. But least any ef our country men fliould fufpeel the policy of Louis, to wards America, of being felfifli and insidious', the declarations of our Congress will proba bly go as far to remove such suspicions, as the hints of tl>e National Convention to esta blish them. For my own part, lam so far an American, as to glory in the persuasion, that the men principally instrumental in our hap py revolution, exhibited more political wis dom, more public virtue, more humanity and courage, than the world ever beheld on such an occaiion, or is ever likely to behold again. The hand cf God was with them and the na tion ; for both profeffed to believe in, and worship him—Hear how this illustrious band £ patriots exprefled themselves in August, 1 u Tfye treaties between his inoft li Christian Majesty and the United States of 41 America, so fufly demonstrate his wisdom " and magnanimity, as to command the re " verence of all nations. The virtuous ci -44 tizens of* America in particular can never u forget his beneficent attention to their violated 44 rights, uor cease to acknowledge the hand u of a gracious Providence in railing them up u so poweiful and illustrious a friend. This 44 AlTembly are convinced, that had it relied 44 solely with the moll Christian King, not 44 only the independence of these States would 44 have been universally acknowledged, but 44 their tranquility fully eftablilhed," Long in Congress Augujl 6lh y 1778. These and similar sentiments refpetting; Louis XVI, are the iuft grounds of the great pain, which the fans of freedom in America expe rience on account of that unfortunate Mo narch j and surely the profefling apostles of human liberty, and the regeneration of na ture, will not condemn one of the fineft senti ments of the heart of Man, especially when employed in commiserating the misfortunes of a Prince, who, as Shakespeare fays of Duncan^ 44 Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been u So dear in his g) eat office, that his virtues u Will plead like angels trumpet-tonou'd, againfi li The deep damndtidn of his taking vjf ; <l And pity like a naked, new born babe, tc Striding the blajl, or Heaven*s cherub horjed " Upon the silent coursers of the air, 48 • Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye."

It has been his endeavour, as it was his desire, in the present edition, to fupplv the defi j ciencies, correal the errors, and meliorate the offenfive parts of the last. To aflift him in this business, he has received many valuable commu nications from the heads of departments in the genera! government, and from gentlemen of re fpeftabihty in the several states. The defcrip tioo of foreign countries (which composes Part 11. of the above wbrk) has been carefully com piled from the most approved writers on Geo graphy, and ufeful information introduced from the discoveries of the latest Navigators, Travel lers, and refpeftable authors.
