Subscriptions j-eceived by the Author, No. 118, Market-street, and by the chief Booksellers through- cf out the United States. •> TO THE PUBLIC. a THE objeA of the proposed work, is, to present to. public view a conrae&ed series oi the chief events of a perod of American history, that does not yield, in im parlance, to any period of equal length, in the pcaccful annals of any country in the world. ( Desiring to excite no expe&ations but such as he fhal 1 endeavour to fa isfy, the writer is thus early in announ cing, that the body and confidence of a regular history, j/ is not to be looked for in this work: neither his talents nor his avocations allow him to hope for this. His hum bier talk (hall be to (ketch out tHe most prominent sea tures. It (hall be his study to colleA and arrange the raoft interesting materials—to fmdoth the rugged path— for abler hands, who, by such mesjw, will find their la bours abridged, and their progress accelerated. His chief view will be, to give the History of the Uni ted States as a confederated Republic.

This information (hall be clalTed under fepa- w rate appendixes. , The Author solicits the afliftance of such Gentlemen as may be polTeHed of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan.
