To give a proper idea of the Plan of this Work, the fol
lowing is extra&ed from the Advertisement of the
Author: t j
" I imagine a Scythian, named Ahacharsis, to ar- a|
rive in Greece, some years before the birth of Alexander ;
and that from Athens, the usual place of his residence, he p
makes several Mcu."«:«ns into the neighbouring provinces;
every where observing the manners and customs of the
inhabitants, being present at their feftivals, and fludying
the nature of their governments; sometimes dedicating
his leisure to enquiries relative to the progress of the hu- w
man mind, and sometimes converting with the great men .
who flouriftied at that time; with Epaminondas, Pbocion, j
Xmopbon, Plato, Arifotle, Dsmofibencs, &c. As soon as he y
his seen Greece enslaved by Philip, the Jather of Alexan-
der, he returns into Scythia, where he puts in order an ic- n
* count of his travels; and ta prevent any interruption in
his narrative, relates in an introduction the memorable
events which had passed in Greece before he left Scythia.'
" I have chosen to write a narrative of Travels ra- e
ther than a history, because in such a narrative all isfce
nery and a&ion; and hecaufe circumstantial details may
be enteied into which are not permitted to the hiiloriaa."

TO THE PUBLIC.
a THE objedt of the proposed work, is, to present to
public view a connected series of the chief events of a 1
period of American history, that does not yield, ill im
parlance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful
:e annals of any country in the world. '*
Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he lhall
endeavour to fa' isfy, the writer is thus early in announ- A
l " cing, that the body and consistence of a regular history,- f'
" is not to be looked for in this work : neither his tale..ts
nor his avocation: allow him to hope for this. His huto- ti
bier talk (hall be to (ketch out the most prominent fea-. I
. tures. It ftiall be his study to collect and arrange the
most interesting materials—to fmeoth the rugged path—
'* for abler hands, who, by such mean*, 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. NevertheleCs, no-
B tice will be taken of the most remarkable cimamfcuncfi. in E
the history of the individual States, a* far jb th*y tty bi *
collected. This information ftiall be classed under fepa|
>* rate appendixes. " "iq •
I- The Aathor solicits the assistance of fneh Geatlemen
n as may be possessed of documents calculated to prfimote
e the executioo of hi. plan. They (hall be reefcived with
due gratitude—carefully preserved—and fafely returned.
