3Y THE
PRESIDENT oj the United States
of America
A Proclamation.
WHEREAS it appears, that a state of
war exifti between Auflria, Prullia,
Sardinia, G. Britain, and the Un»ted Nether
lands, of the one part; and France, on the
other—-and the duty and interest of the Uni
ted States require, that they fbould with fin
rerity and good faith adopt and pursue a con
duit friendly and impartial towards the bel
ligerent powers.
I HAVE therefore thought fit by these
presents, to declare the disposition of the
United States to observe the conduit afore
faid towards thoi'e powers refpeftively; and
to exhort and warn the citizens ofthe United
States carefully to avoid all adts and proceed
iugs whatsoever, which may In any manner
tend to contravene such disposition.
AND I DO hereby alio make known, that
whosoever of the citizens of the United States
/ball render himfelf liable to punishment or
forfeiture under the law of nations, by com
mitting, aiding or abetting hostilities against
any of the said powers, or by carrying to any
of them those articles, which are deemed con
traband by the modern usage of nations, will
not receive the protection of the United
States against such punishment or forfeiture ;
and further, that I have given inftru<stions to
those officers, to whom it belongs, to cause
prosecutions to be instituted against all per
sons, who (hall, within the cognizance of the
Courts of the United States, violate the law
of nations, with refpe<Jt to the powers at
war, or any of them.
IN TESTIMONY whereof, I have cau
sed the Sea! of the United States of
America to be affixed to these pre
sents, and signed the lame with my
hand. Done at the City of Philadel
■—phia, the twenty-second day of April,
( L - s -) one thousand seven hundred and nine

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE Author is sensible that the firft edition
of his American Geography (which makes Part
I. of the above work) was in many instances dc
fe&ive, in others erroneous, and in
five. It has been his endeavour, as it was hi*
desire, in the present edition, to fupplv the defi
ciencies, correal the errors, and meliorate the
offenfivc parts of the last. To aflift him in this
business, he has received many valuable commu
nications from the heads of departments in the
general government, and from gentlemen of re
fpe&ability in the several ftatce. The descrip
tion of foreign countries (which composes Part
11. of the above work) 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 refpe£table authors. Indeed, no pains
nor expenfc have been (pared to render this work
the moll complete, accurate, and ufeful of any
ever offered to the public.
