portance, to any period of C<fa--1 length, ill the peaceful
: annals of trey country in the world.
t Desiring to excite no expectations out foch as he shall
endeavour to fa i«fy, the writer iathus early in aanoun
cing, that the body and confidence of a regular hiltory,
is not to be looked for in this work: neither hit talents
' nor his a vacation? allow him t« hope for this. Hjs hum
) bier talk (hall"be to {ketch ont tie mod promirrmt sea
, tures. It shall be his study to colled and arrasge the
null interesting materials—to smooth the rugged path—
for abler hands, who, by such nieaiv, will find tkeir la
bours abridged, and their progress accelerated.
His chief view will be, to give thi Hiflory of tie Uni

tice will be taken of the moll remarkable circumfance*-in
the hiflory of the individual States, as far as they can be
collected. This information shall be daffed under fepa

The Author solicits the affiftsnrtf of such' Gentlemen
as may be poffefled of documents calculated to promote
the execution of his plan. They fhaHlie rece/red with
