The opinion of the President of the United
States rcfpe&ing this work, is as follows :
" I believe the American Museum has met
with extensive, 1 may fay, with untverfal ap
probation from competent judges ; for I am of
opinion, that the work is not only eminently
calculated to disseminate political, agricultural,
philosophical, and oth-r valuable mfoimat.on ;
bat that it has been vnijorm'y condußed viik taflc 9
attention, and propriety. If to these important
obje&s be fuperadded the more immediate de
sign of refcoing public documents from obli

timent, that a uozi ustri'L literary
