Extract prom The Prefagf. 3 " The authors have pre fumed to affix to 3 their title ths epithet Imbattiql; and the 4 reason is, be cause they cannot charge them selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that ot truth and liberty ; and they flatter themselves, that their reader* will find n*\t only every circumstance fairly represented, but every cenlurable action, whoever were the authors or a&ors, mark ed in its proper colors. It it was neceflary to make a declaration of their own princi ples,; tliey would lav, they are neither tor> nor republican—They love liberty as Eng lish wh 'gs, and execrate every criminal a& by which so noble a cause is endangered and d i (graced " In the present ferment ps the public mind, tiiey cannot flatter theniftlves with' the h >pes of feeing this claim uiriverfally acknowledged. On the Cfntrafy, they are well assured that these pages ivi'd not be acceptable tfi the zealous of either party. But when time fliatl diflipate the clouds of political decep- * tion, they with Pome confidence cxpe£i that verdict from public opinion, which candor , and moderation feid'un fail to receive.
