ATTT) O F FT^CE,
FOR THE SALE OF ESTATES.
^—^^—^
MR. LAMONT, the proprietor of the Intelli
gence-Office in New-York, having been em
ployed by fcveral gentlemen in this and the neigh
bouring dates, to dispose of lands and other proper
ty; and finding that an office for the general reception
and sale of estates, would greatly add to the conve
nience of those who may want to dispose of their proper
ty, either by barter or sale ; —for this purpose he is
induced to extend his plan, for the accommodation
of the publick, and offers his office, at No. 22, Wa
ter-street, opposite the coffee-houfe, for the reception
and disposal of all kinds of estates.
Such gentlemen as may want to convert their pro
perty into cash, will find it their interest to apply as
above, for as this is the only office of the kind in
New-York, and constantly resorted to by a variety of
purchasers of every denomination, it is the most likely
place where a customer may be found.
Plans, surveys, maps and views of estates may be
deposited and exposed to sale, free of expence, and
without incurring any charge if there is no business
done for their owners. —All kinds of conveyances,
deeds, leases, &c. done in a neat and accurate manner.

lot of ground, consisting of one quarter of an

a new frame building on said lot, one story and a half
high, twenty-two by sixteen feet ; likewise at the fame
time and place will be exposed to sale, household
and kitchen furniture of all kinds, one batteau, and

jection against the renewal of the said certificates,

THE
HISTOR Y
OF TH E
Rife, Progress and Conclusion,
OFTH E
AMERICAN REVOLUTION,
By the Rev. William Gordon, D. D.
of Roxbury, in the state of Massachusetts.
THE writer, in the beginning of 1776, made
known his intention to his excellency, the late
commander in chief of the American army, and,
meeting with the desired encouragement, applied him
felf to collecting materials for the history. His situa
tion and other circumstances contributed to the design,
and led him to an acquaintance and correspondence
with a number of gentlemen of the firft consequence,
in both the civil and military line, from whom he has
received the most authentic and interesting information.
The United States, in Congress assembled, have
also favoured him with an infpedion of such of their
records as could with propriety be submitted to the
perusal of a private person, and he has been indulged
by the late generals Washington, Gates, Greene,
Lincoln, and Otho Williams, with a liberal
examination of their papers, both of a publick and more
private nature.
For these reasons the author thinks himfelf juftifia
ble in supposing, that he has been furnished with the
necessary historical memoirs beyond any other person.
With refpedto the execution of the work, he will
only remark that, as he has not aspired after the cha
racter of an accomplished, but of a faithful historian,
on whom posterity may depend, when the interested
productions of partisans are no longer regarded; he
has, to the utmost of his power divested himfelf of
all partiality, and paid a sacred attention to truth,
both as to fads and the representation of them.
It is proposed to embellish the work with a good
collection of maps, plans and cuts, ffiould the fub
feription be so far countenanced by the publick as to
answer the expence. As this will be very great, it is
hoped that the subscribers will have no objection
against advancing one half of the fubfeription money
at the time of fubferibing, which will be expected,
and a receipt given for it.
N. B. It is requested that gentlemen and ladies
who mean to encourage the work, will be early in
their subscriptions; that the author may have the
numbers returned to him by the middle of April.
The names of the subscribers will be printed, except
ing where the contrary is desired. 4W
Subscriptions are taken in by the printer hereof.
