THE PLAN of the Operation l ol that memor#
able Siege, carried agamft the JU ri(h Army un
der lord Cornwallis, at York Tows, ir Virgi
nia (which fomerime since was advertised to be engrav
ed here) is now in the hand, of ih Printer. Tothefe
gentlemen who have encouraged b n in this hufinels,
by fubferibing, the Editor returns bi sincere thanks for
their kind patronage and patience ; confid ring works of
this kind are not done quick, an 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 r fouice to those
populous nations in Europe ; which makes them v ik
with so much ease, and with so much cheapnifs' nto
one mothers hands. Ano, indeed, what is the history
of a country without maps? a biffory of *a with ut
plans ? What idea can a person form, who (hail happen
to read in a remote corner of the earth, or ever in Ame
rica, the hiftorv of this war, the different fitua ions of
Saratoga and York-Town, routs, marches, and innu
merable feenes of action throughout this tn enfive con
tinent, without plans are intermixed through the inte.
felling pages of it ?

The Printer begs the gentlemen fubfe-ibers to lend to

he expe&s to have a few to dispose of, to G.M, gentle
men who have not hid an opportunity of lending %
their names, and who &i(hto refr^fh their memories
with a lively representation of the fMe ^f lord Corti
wallis and hi? aimy.
Although thie Map bears a military appearance, vet
the explanation* render it intelligible to those who arc
no' conversant in military ftruaure.
*** Those gentlemen who paid one half of th? price
at fubferibing, will, at the delivery of th- Maps, bo
pleased to fend the other half (one dollar fee oct co
py) and those gentlemen who omitted to pay the 1
fcription, will be pleased to fend the whole, two dol
lars for each copy ; in order to prevent the inconveni
ence attending the collection of Imall sum.
