THE Writer of the C ONQUEST of
CANAAN begs leave toinform his Coun
trymen, that that Poem, after many Disappoint
ments and Delays, is in a fair Way to be present
ed to the Public. He Hatters himfelf that Per
sons of Candor and Confederation will be easily
induced to believe him, when he aflerts, that
the Publication was delayed, beyond his firib Ex
pe&ations, solely by Necellity. To trouble the
Public with an Account ofthe Obftru&ions fur
nifhed by the Times, to the Completion of his
Design, would be deemed Impertinence. It is
fufficient to observe, that it was not in his I ow
er to forefee or prevent them.
The Price at whicli the Book is now ottered
to the Public, is a considerable Advance on that
frit proposed. The Reasons are obvious, and it
is imagined fufficient. The Work is enlarge^,
and theExpence ofPubhcation greatly enhances.
Ofcourfe it is impossible toafford it on the terms
originally in view. The Writer therefore cannot
but hope thatneither this Circumstance, nor the
Delay of Publication, will difeourage the
fcriptions of those, whose Generality and Re
finement inducehim to wiihthem inthe Number
cf Subscribers.
A new Subscription is set on foot, because- an
Alteration of the Terms became neccllary and
becaufemany ofthe former Subferibers are Head,
many removd to other Countries, and almoftall
in Situations very different from thole in which
they fubferibed.

Hartford, January 29, 1783,
This Book is wrote to evince the great hardships and a
mazing success of a vassal people who extricated themselves
From the tyranny of the mist exorbitant power in Europe,
and in the end ruined that power while the ocean was co
vered with its navy, and the earth with its armies, both un
der the ditedion of commanders as famous as any recorded
in history ; who had the advantage of marching those ar
mies by land into the very heart ofthofe revolted States.
This overgrown monarchy had a view to oppress an in
nocent and complying people, who bad neither troops nor
ships to defend cbemfelves.
ASmall spot of ground, scarcely equal to the least of our
United States, with only a moderate share of public virtue,
proved fufficient to bring ruin on the then most formidable
kingdon on our globe !„.
The writer is vain enough to believe, that the small as
semblage of politics contained in this book, will afford
entertainment to our Statesmen.
The soldier will find amusement in the relation of mili
tary events.
The merchant will be reminded, that our commercial
difficulties are to be overcome by patience.
The clergy may ponder on the consequences of polemi
cal disputes. - And,
The Farmer will fee, that the present time is net the fitft
when it was difficult to introduce foreign necessaries.
