Under the FIRM of
NANCARROW and MATLACK,
AT the stores of John Helling's on Stamper's

east corner of Race-street, at Casper Singer and Sons
in Matket-ftreet, and at +Benjamin Davis's store in
Arch-street, between Front and Second-ffreets; and
also by molt of the merchants in Trenton.
The great encouragement given the said John Nan
carrow, by the rapid sale of the steel he has made,
previous to and during the late war, has induced the
said Nancarrow and Matlack to allure the publick,
that as they intend to carry on the steel manufactory
in an extensive and spirited manner, they are deter
mined to spare no pains to render their steel worthy
the character given it. \•

THE
H I S'T O R Y
OF THE
Rife, Progrefs'and Conclusion,
OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION,
By the Rev. William Gordon, D. D.
of Roxbury, in the state of Massachusetts.
TH E 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 infpe&ion 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 fuppohng, that he has been furnifhed with the
necessary historical memoirs beyond any other person.
With refpe& to 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 fa&s and the representation of them.
It is proposed to embellish the work with a good
collection of maps, plans and cuts, Ihould 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 fubferibers 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 fubferiptions; that the author may have the
numbers returned to him by the middle of April.
The names of the fubferibers will be printed, except
ing where the contrary is desired. qw
Subscriptions are taken in by the printer hereof.
