To the PUBLIC,
THE PLAN of the Operations of that memory
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. Tothofe
gentlemen who have encouraged him in this business,
by fubferibing, the Editor returns his sincere thanks for
their kind patronage and patience ; considering works of
thi* 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 those
populous nations in Europe ; which makes them work
with so much ease, and with so much cieapnefs into
one another h-nds. And, indeed, what is the history
cf 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 hiftorv of this war, the different situations of
Saratoga and York-Town, route, marches, and innu
merable feenes of a&ion throughout this entenfive con
tinent, without plans are intermixed through the inte
resting pages of it ?

men who have not nad an opportunity of funding in
their names, and who wish to refrHh their memories
with a lively representation of the fate of lord Corn
wallis and his army.
Although this Map bears a military appearance, vet
the explanations rend .r it intelligible to those who are
not conversant in military ftrußure.

nt subscribing, will, at the delivery of the Maps, be
pleated to fend the other half (one dollar for each co
