fTO THE rVBLfC.
THE objetftof the peopofed work, is, toprfcfent to
public view a connected series ol the chief events of a
period of American history, that does not yield, in im
portance, to any period of equal length, in theseaecful
annals of any country in the world.
Desiring to exciteno expectations but such as he (hall
endeavour to favisfy, writer is thus early in announ
cing, that the body ancrconfitteaee of a regular history.,
is not to be.looked for jn this work; neither bis tale..ts
nor his a vocation* allow him'tohopefor this. His hum
bler talk lhall be to'ficietch out the - most prominent fea
tures. It lhall'be his study to collet and arrange the
most interesting materials—to fmoath the ■rugged path—
for abler hands, who, by'ljUch meant, will find their 4a
tours abridged, and their progress accelerated.
His chief view will be, to give the History of the Uni
ted States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, No
tice will betaken of the most remarkable cirtfumftances in
the history of the individual States, as far as they cam be'
collided. This information ihail be classed under sepa
rate appendixes. jj
The Author Solicits'the affiftsmee such Gentlemen
is may be possessed of documents calculated to promote
the execution «f his .plan. They fhall-be received with
due gratitude—carefully preferred—and fafely returned.
