" The authors have prefumcc) to affix to their title the epithet Jmpattial; and the reason is, brcaufe they cannot charge them. selves with feeling the smallest biai to any party, but that ol truth and liberty ; and they flitter tfiemfelves, that their readers will find n it only every circumltance fairly reprefVnted, but every ceuTural?!* aiftion, whoeCer were the authors or actors, mark- its proper colors. If it was neceflary to make a declaration of their own princi ples, they wonldYav, tfiey are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng lifli whigt, and execrate every criminal aft by which so noble a caufeii endangered and di graced. "In the present ferment of the public mind, they ca-nnot flatter themselves with the h-ipes of feeing this claim universally acknowledged. On ihe contrary, they are well ajjurcd that thejc pages will not be acceptable to the iealous oj either party. But when time lliall dilfipate the clou.ls of political decep. tion, they with some confidence expe&that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
