July 26. BENJ. HEMINGS.
To the PUBLIC,
THE PLAN of the Operation# of that memor
able Siege, carried against the British Army un
der lord Cornwallis, at York- Town, in Virgi
nia (which forhetime since was advertised to be engrav
ed here) is now in the hand# of the Printer. To those
gentlemen who have encouraged him in this business,
by fubferibing, the Editor returns his sincere thanks for
their kind patronage arid 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 sciences) 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 another# hands. And, indeed, what is the history
of a country without maps? a hiftdry 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 hiftorv of this war, the different situations of
Saratoga and York-Town, fonts, marches, and innu
merable feenes cf a&ion throughout this entenfive con
tinent, without plans are intermixed through the inte
resting pages of it ?
S. BAUMAN, Major of Artillery.
The Printer begs the gentlemen fubferibers to fend to
him for their Copies. As soon as they are delivered
he expe&s to have a few to dispose of, to those gentle!
men who have not had an opportunity of fending in
their names, and who with to refrefh their memories
with a lively representation of the fate of lord Corn
wallis and his army.
Although this Map bears a military appearance, yet
the explanations render it intelligible to those who are
not conversant in military ftru&ure.
*** Those gentlemen who paid one half of the price
at fubferibing, will, at the delivery of the Maps, be
pleated to fend the other half (one dollar for each co
py) and those gentlemen who omitted to pay the sub
scription, will be pleased to fend the whole, two dol
lars for each copy ; in order to prevent the inconveni
ence attending the colleAion of small fums#
