THE PLAN of the Operations of that memor
able Siege, carried against the British Army un
der lord Cornwallis, at York Town, in Viigi
nia (which sometime since was advertised to be engrav.
ed here) is now in the hands of the Printer. Tothofe
gentlemen who have encouraged him in this business,
by subs ribing, the Editor returns his sincere thanks for
their kini patronage and patience ; considering works of
this kind are not done quick, and nothing but encourage,
ment will stimulate and make Engraving (as well as
many other ufeful feiences) more familiar to America—
Encouragement, the only and chief resource to tnofe
populous nations, in Europe ; which makes them work
with so much ease, and with so much cheapness into
one anothers hands. And, indeed, what is the history
of a country without maps? a history of war without
.plans ? What idra can a person form, who (hall happen
to read in a remote corner of the earth, or even in Ame
rica, the hiftorv of this war, the different fituaiions of
Saratoga ard Yerk-Town, routs, marches, and innu
merable feenes of a&ion throughout this eneufive con
tinent, without plans are intermixed through the inte
resting pages of it ?
S. BAUMAN, Mfer of Artillery,
The Printer begs the gentlemen fubfcriber# to fend to
him for their Copies. As soon as they are delivered,
he experts to have a fr^ to dispose of, to those gentle
men who have not bxd an opportunity of fending in
their names, and who with to r&frefh their memories
with a lively r?prefentation of the fate of lord Corn
wallis and his army.
Although this Map hears a military appearance, yet
the explanations rend r it intelligible to thole who art
not conversant in military ftruflure.
*** Those gentleman wl o paid one half of the price
at fitbferihing, will, at the delivery of the Maps, be
pleafcd to fend the other half (one dollar for each co
py) and those gentlemen who omitted to pay the fub
fcriptlon, will be ple@fed to fend the whole, two dol
lars for each copy ; in order to prevent the incouveni
ence attending the collection of Imall sums.

gentleman (if that title can be granted to
that kind of men) who have practised that
fhameful way (from which, yet, nothing
will result that could make the subscriber
blush) when he will have read, and read
over again, those Letters, and commented
upon, to fend them by way of the poft-ofi
