The name of Kcuertscn has long flood in
the very ft-ft rank of hiftorians, and perhape
none oi his writings have Ixen more generally
read, or univerfully admired, than hi« Hiftory
of America. So popular has the work betn in
England,that it has pafled through no It fa th <n
ren editions. Nor is this wonderful Dr. Ro.

narration, have dcbtvedly fecurel th; higheft

rical f ufts His ftyle, ,
elegant, tafy ai d dignified, v. i i ^1a iys fin 1 an
admirer in every reader of tafte. The feletftion
of the matter comprilVd in the Hiftory of Ame
rica, is happily calculated to blend the nurd
agreeable amufem^nt with folid and u tErl in
form .tion. The lifeovery of a nr w h. mifp'ncrt
by Co'umbii?, and the rap < corqut ft of Mr xico
and Pc u by C artr / and P /.arro, are among
the mod i v.traoidinoy c vents ic’orded in au

the Spaniard towards the natives of Amtrica,

Whereas it appears that a certain
John Allen has some kind of a bond, or
note, on me, u hich I never signed nor
seen ; which bond, or note, is believed
to be dated in Sept. 1 806, and is tor an
amount unknown to me, but said to be
500, or 680 dollars : I hereby give no
tice, that the said bond, or note, was ob
tained through fraud ; and caution all
persons not to take an assignment of the
same, a-. 1 am determined not to pay it
unless compelled by law.
