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 ;

THE Author is sensible that the firft edition
of his American Geography (which makes Part
I. of the above wbrk) was in many instances dc
j fe£live, in others erroneous, and in forne offen
five. 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. Indeed, no pains
nor expenfc have been spared to render this work
the mofl complete, accurate, and ufefulaoy
ever offered to the public.
