Gentlemen,
AFTER having served vou faithfully, near fix years
in the field, as a foMier, in the defence of your
just rights, against the arbitrary claims of Great-Britain,
and having again retired to the walk of a private citi
z^, I now take this opportunity to inform you, that
I intend offcringernyfrihs a candidate for the fheriff's of
fice, -t the enfuine el &ion ; to be then placed on the re
turn with Wi%m Will, esquire, the present fheriff: and
(hould you think me worthy of ycur fuffrages and inter
ed, which I now earreftly solicit, the favour will ever be
remembered with gratitude by,
Gentlemen,
Your devoted humble servant,
THOMAS PROCTER.
THE PLAN of the Operations ^f that memor
able Siege, carried against the British Army un
der lord Cornwallis, at York Town, in Virgi
nia (which sometime since was advertised to be engrav
ed here) is now in the hands of the Printer. To those
gentlemen who have encouraged him in this business,
by fubferibing, the Editor returns hi: sincere thanks for
their kind patronage and patience ; considering works of
this kind arc not done quick, and nothing but encourage
ment will flimulate and make Engraving (as well al
many other ufeful feiences) more familiar to America—
Encouragement, the only and chief resource to those
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 idea can a person form, who shall happen
to read in a remote corner of the earth, or even in Ame
rica, the history cf this war, the different situations of
Saratoga and York-Town, routs, marches, and innu
merable feenes of a&ion throughout this entenfive con
tinent, without plans are intermixed through the inte
resting pages of it ?

The Printer begs the gentlemen fubferibers to fend to

wallis and his army.
