ANNALS of the TROUBLES
OF THE
NETHERLANDS.
V OLUMB. I.
This Bock is wrote to evince the great hardships
Ajd amazing success of a vaff?l people who extri
c^ 1 themselves from the tyranny of the most ex
orbitant power in Europe, and in the end ruined
that power while the. ocean Was covered with its
navy, and the earth with its armies, both under the
direct on of commanders as famous as any recorded
in hißory; who had the advantage cf marching
those armies by land into the Very heart of those re*
volted states.
This overgrown monarchy had a view to oppress
an innocent and complying people, who had neither
troops nor ftps to defend themfelve c .
A small feet of ground, scarcely equal to the least
of our United States,.with only a moderate share of
public virtue, proved Efficient to bring ruin on the
then most formidable kingdom on our globe!
I am vain enough to believe that the small affem
blige of politics contained in this book, will afford
entertainment to our statesmen,
The soldier will find amusement in the relation of
military events.
The merchant will be reminded, that onr com
mercial difficulties are to be overcome by patience.
The clergy may ponder on the consequences cf
polemical disputes.
And the farmer will fee, that the present time is
not the firft when it was difficult to introduce foreign
necessaries.
The public in general, are requeued to take It for
granted, that the work is meant to be ufeful.
I cannot but express my gratitude for the very
large subscription obtained for this woA.
During the regulation cf prices of every thing, I
promised about 500 pages for Four Dollars ; I now
publish 288 pages for Three Dollars and a Half to
the Subferibers, and Four Dollars to non fubferi
bers. I dare be assured, that considering the dif
ference in price of all necessaries of life, this book
will be thought a very cheap publication, especially
When it is considered, that such a volume would
have fold at One Dollar in time of peace.
Subferibers are therefore requeued speedily to call
for their books at Mr. Patten's, in this town, that I
may be encouraged to go on vigorously with the se
cond volume
A handsome allowance will be made to such as buy
a quantity, from fifty upwards.
