RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 5 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time.—On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford Court-House, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

Washington, Feb. 18, 1808.
MY DEAR SIR,
I see with infinite grief a contest arising between yourself and another who have been very dear to each other, and equally so to me. I sincerely pray that those dispositions may not be affected between you: with me I confidently trust they will not; for inde- pendently of the dictates of public duty which prescribe neutrality to me, my sin- cere friendship for you both will insure its sacred observance. I suffer no one to con- verse with me on the subject. I already perceive my friend Clinton estranging him- self from me. No doubt lies are carried to him, as they will be to the other two candi- dates, under forms which, however false, he can scarcely question. Yet I have been equally careful as to him also never to say a word on this subject. The object of the con- test is a fair and honorable one, equally o- pen to you all, and I have no doubt the per- sonal conduct of each will be so chaste as to offer no ground of dissatisfaction with each other, but your friends will not be as deli- cate. I know too well from experience the progress of political controversy, and the exacerbation of spirit into which it degene- rates, not to fear for the continuance of your mutual esteem. One piquing thing said, draws on another, that a third, and always with increasing acrimony, until all restraint is thrown off, and it becomes difficult for yourselves to keep clear of the toils in which your friends will endeavor to interlace you, and to avoid the participation in their pas- sions which they will endeavor to produce. A candid recollection of what you know of each other will be the true corrective. With respect to myself I hope they will spare me. My longings for retirement are so strong that I with difficulty encounter the daily drudgeries of my duty. But my wish for retirement itself is not stronger than that of carrying into it the affections of all my friends. I have ever viewed Mr. Madison and yourself as two principal pillars of my happiness. Were either to be withdrawn, I should consider it as among the greatest calamities which could assail my future peace of mind. I have great confidence that the candor and high understanding of both will guard me against this misfortune, the bare possibility of which has so far weighed on my mind that I could not be ea- sy without unburchening it. Accept my re- spectful salutations for yourself and Mrs. Monroe, and be assured of my constant and sincere friendship.—A copy.

Richmond, Feb. 27, 1808.
DEAR SIR,
My great anxiety to forward to you the account and receipt for the sum which I paid, for your mathematical instruments at London, when I should acknowledge your late kind letter, prevented my answering it sooner. To obtain them I was forced to ransack all my papers, which required much time, and in truth I did not succeed in find- ing them till this morning. I have now the pleasure to inclose you those papers. * * * * * * *
I can assure you that no occurrences of my whole life, ever gave me so much con- cern, as some which took place during my absence abroad, proceeding from the pre- sent administration. I allude more espec- ially to the mission of Mr. Pinckney, with all the circumstances, connected with that measure, and the manner, in which the tre- aty, which he and I formed, which in fact, was little more than a project, was received. I do not wish to dwell on these subjects. I resolved that they should form no motive of my public, or private conduct, and I pro- ceeded to execute my public duty in the same manner, and to support and advance to the utmost of my power, your personal and political fame, as if they had not oc- curred. The latter object, has been felt by me through life, scarcely as a secondary one, for from the high respect which I have en- tertained for your public services, your ta- lents and virtues, I have seen the national interest, and your advancement and fame,
so intimately connected, as to constitute es- sentially the same cause. Besides I have never forgotten, the proofs, of kindness and friendship, which I received from you in early life.
When I returned to the United States, I found that heavy censure had fallen on me, in the public opinion, as I had before much reason to believe was the case, in conse- quence of my having signed the British treaty, and when I returned here from Washington, I was assured that, that cir- cumstance was wielded against me with great effect, in relation to a particular ob- ject—that it was relied on to impeach my character in the most delicate points. Con- scious, that I had served my country and the administration, in the several trusts, confided to me abroad, with the utmost in- tegrity, industry and zeal; that in some cases, I had rendered useful service, that in all, I had done the most that could be done, under existing circumstances; that my pri- vate fortune, had been essentially injured by those employments, it was impossible for me to be insensible to the effects produced by those attacks. They have injured me and continue to injure me every day in the pub- lic estimation. I trust, however, that means may be found to do me justice, without the slightest injury to you. Be that as it may, you may be assured, that I shall never cease, to take a deep interest in your political fame and personal happiness.
I informed Mr. Madison when I was at Washington, that I should write him a let- ter, in reply to his of May the 20th, 1807, on the subject of the treaty, to answer some of his objections to it, and place in a just light, the conduct of the American commis- sioners in that transaction. I informed him also, that as I wished to couch that letter in the most amicable terms, if he should find any passage in it, which failed in that respect, I should be happy to alter it, having in view only a fair vindication of my conduct. I have almost concluded the letter, and shall for- ward it in the course of the next week, the early part of it, if possible. My private concerns, have subjected me to much inter- ruption, or I should have finished it soon- er.
In regard to the approaching election, I have been and shall continue to be an inac- tive spectator of the movement. Should the nation be disposed to call any citizen to that station, it would be his duty to accept. On that ground I rest. I have done no- thing to draw the attention of any one to me in reference to it, nor shall I in future. No one better knows than I do the merit of Mr. Madison, and I can declare that should he be elected, he will have my best wishes for the success of his administration, as well on account of the real interest which I take in what concerns his welfare, as in that of my country. His success will give me no personal mortification. It will not lessen my friendship for him, which is sincere and strong.
I am, dear sir, yours, &c. &c. JAMES MONROE.
Washington City, March 10th, 1808.
DEAR SIR,
From your letter of the 27th ult. I per- ceive that painful impressions have been made on your mind during your mission, of which I had never entertained a suspicion. I must therefore examine the grounds, be- cause explanations between reasonable men can never but do good. 1st. You consider the mission of Mr. Pinckney as an associ- ate, to have been in some way injurious to you. But I might say in its justification that it has been the regular and habitual practice of the United States to do this un- der every form in which their government has existed. I need not recapitulate the multiplied instances, because you will read- ily recollect them. I went as an adjunct to Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams, yourself as an adjunct, first to Mr. Livingston, and then to Mr. Pinckney, and I really believe there has scarcely been a great occasion which has not produced an extraordinary mission. * * * * *
2d. You complain of the manner in which the treaty was received: but what was that manner? I cannot suppose you to have given a moment's credit to the stuff which was crowded in all sorts of forms into the public papers, or to the thousand speeches they put into my mouth, not a word of which I had ever uttered. I was not insensible at the time of the views to mischief with which these lies were fabricated. But my confi- dence was firm that neither yourself nor the British government, equally outraged by them, would believe me capable of making the editors of newspapers the confidants of my speeches or opinions. The fact was this. The treaty was communicated to us by Mr. Erskine on the day congress was to rise.— Two of the senators enquired of me in the evening whether it was my purpose to de- tain them on account of the treaty. My
answer was, 'that it was not: that the tre- aty containing no provision against the im- pressment of our seamen, and being accom- panied by a kind of protestation of the Bri- tish ministers which would leave that go- vernment free to consider it as a treaty or no treaty, according to their own convenience, I should not give them the trouble of delib- erating on it. This was substantially, and almost verbally what I said whenever spok- en to about it, and I never failed, when the occasion would admit of it, to justify your- self and Mr. Pinckney by expressing my conviction that it was all that could be ob- tained from the British government; that you had told their commissioners that your government could not be pledged to ratify, because it was contrary to their instructions, of course that it should be considered but as a project: and in this light I stated it pub- licly in my message to congress on the open- ing of this session. Not a single article of the treaty was ever made known beyond the members of the administration, nor would an article of it be known at this day but for its publication in the newspapers as communicated by somebody beyond the wa- ter as we have always understood. But as to myself I can solemnly protest as the most sacred of truths, that I never one instant lost sight of your reputation and favorable stand- ing with your country, and never omitted to justify your failure to attain our wish as one which was probably unattainable. Review- ing therefore the whole subject, I cannot doubt you will become sensible that your impressions has been without just ground. I cannot indeed judge what falsehoods may have been written or told you, but if you have been made to believe that I ever did, said, or thought a thing unfriendly to your fame and feelings, you do me injury as causeless as it is affecting to me. In the present contest in which you are concerned, I feel no passion, I take no part, I express no sentiment.
Which ever of my friends is called to the supreme cares of the nation, I know that they will be wisely and faithfully adminis- tered; and as far as my individual conduct can influence, they shall be cordially sup- ported. For myself I have nothing further to ask of the world than to preserve in re- tirement so much of their esteem as I may have fairly earned, and to be permitted to pass in tranquility, in the bosom of my fam- ily and friends the days which yet remain for me. Having reached the harbor myself I shall view with anxiety (but certainly not with a wish to be in their place) those who are still buffeting the storm, uncertain of their fate. Your voyage has been so far favorable, and that it may continue with en- tire prosperity is the sincere prayer of that friendship which I have ever borne you, and of which I now assure you, with the tender of my high respect and affectionate saluta- tions.
A copy.

TH: JEFFERSON.
Richmond, March 22d, 1808.
DEAR SIR,
I had the pleasure to receive your letter of the 10th instant, the day after my return from Albemarle. It is distressing to me, to discuss with you the topics on which it treats, but in the state in which things are, it is certainly best to come to a perfect un- derstanding on every point, and to repair on both sides any injury which may have been received. To do you an injury, or indeed any one in the administration never entered into my mind, for while I labored under a conviction not only that I had been injured, but that the friendly feeling which you had so long entertained for me, had ceased to exist, I never indulged any other sentiment in consequence of it, than that of sorrow. At present I am happy to say, that all doubt of your friendship for me, having experienced any change is complete- ly done away, and that the only anxiety, which I feel, is to satisfy you, that the im- pression was not taken on slight ground, nor imputable to communications made me by persons out of the administration.
The mission in itself of Mr. Pinckney, or any other person, would not have produced such an effect. It resulted from a chain of circumstances of which that measure was only a part. When I left Madrid, I com- municated to Mr. Madison in aid of our public dispatches, every idea which I had formed of the state of our affairs there, in all their relations, by sending him a copy of my private journal, and adding in private letters what it did contain. Although it was my earnest desire to get home, and look to my private concerns, which I proposed to do, soon after my return to London, I intimated to him, that I was willing in con- sideration of the existing crisis, to act in any situation in which I might be useful. On my return to London, I found that the seiz- ures which had commenced in my absence,
had imposed on me, a new and important duty. I resisted them, and not without ef- fect. By announcing to the British minis- ter, my intention to return to the U. States, that autumn, I assumed the character for every essential purpose of a special Envoy; with which Mr. Madison was made ac- quainted, as he was likewise, with my de- termination to remain there till the business was concluded. The evidence before him seemed to be satisfactory, that as nothing could be gained, of the existing ministry, but by force, any change of the attitude taken on our part, was likely to do harm, and that if the ministry retired, the dan- ger of such an effect, would be increased by a change of attitude. This latter idea was strongly urged, in a private letter to him of the 2d of February, 1806, with my earnest advice against such a mission. At the ship by which that letter was sent, arriv- ed at Philadelphia, on the 26th of March, I concluded he had received it by the 30th. It was written in consequence of intelli- gence from the United States that such a mission was decided on by the government. As I had received no answer to any of my communications from Madrid, or London, after my return, nor any acknowledgment of my services at either place, or expression of a desire, that I should come home or re- main there, it seemed by the measure al- luded to, as if it was considered, that I was rather in the way, than of use, to the admin- istration. His reserve to me for so long a time, and the appointment of an associ- ate, after the receipt of my private letter of Feb 2d, and a public one of nearly the same date, and after the change in the administra- tion was known, made a deep impression on my mind to that effect. Special missions were never well received by those on the ground, nor perhaps never will be, while men are governed by those useful pas- sions, which stimulate them to virtuous ac- tions. Such a mission reduces the resident minister, however respectable, for his ta- lents and character, to a Cypher, from the moment it is known that it is contemplated, and if it does not destroy him, it is because his character is sufficiently strong to bear the shock. The footing on which I had left my country, a consciousness of the zeal and integrity of my conduct in the public ser- vice, and of my personal attachment and devotion to the administration, with a firm belief that no change could be made to ad- vantage, may possibly have increased my sensibility to the measure. Had such an one been contemplated, I thought that I should have been the first to hear of it in a private letter from yourself or Mr. Madison, but I had to gather the intelligence from the newspapers, the correspondence of others, the hints of Lord Holland, and even of Mr. Fox. Mr. Madison's first letter to me on any important subject, which was of the 11th of March, 1806, almost ten months after I left Madrid, and eight after my re- turn to London, was received on the 25th of April. It seemed to be intended to an- nounce, the proposed measure, and from its size, taken in connection with the preceding circumstances, contributed greatly to con- firm the impression which they had already made. The facility which it afforded to my departure appeared to me to be the strong- est feature in it.
The letter which Mr. Pinckney brought me, which was delivered to him and by him to me open, was in the same tone. It stat- ed that I was included in the special mis- sion, but that Mr. Pinckney had a separate commission with him, to take my place in case I chose to return home. It express- ed no desire that I would remain and join in the negotiation. The joint commission seemed also to be peculiarly adapted to favor that object, as it authorised one com- missioner to act in the absence of the other, in which it differed from those, which I had carried with me abroad, they giving that power to the one in case only of the death of the other. I could see no reason for his bringing with him a separate commis- sion, to succeed me in the ordinary mis- sion, if my immediate return had not been con- templated, as sufficient time would have been allowed for supplying it if I remained and joined in the negotiation, before it could be concluded, or for the variance in the con- ditions of the joint one. All these circum- stances tended to convince me that the ad- ministration had withdrawn its confidence from me, and that it really wished to get rid of me. I was struck with astonishment at the idea, and deeply affected by it, as it was utterly impossible for me to trace the cause. Had I followed the impulse of my feelings, it would have been, to have withdrawn on the arrival of Mr. Pinckney; but many considerations of great weight admonished me to pursue a different course. I had had much communication with Mr. Fox, and entertained great hopes, that through him our affairs might be settled to advantage.— It did not seem probable, that any other

person could derive the same aid from those communications that might be done, by a party to them. By remaining, I thought that I might give support to the administration at home, which I most earnestly wished to do. For these and other reasons of the same kind, I resolved to remain and unite in the negotiation with such character as might be sent, of which I gave Mr. Madison information in my letter, of the 29th of April, which was written a few days after the receipt of his of March the 11th, and in which I gave him distinctly to understand that that measure would be no cause of disagreement between the administration and myself. I retained and acted accordingly, and did every thing in my power to accomplish the views of my government and country, and finally concluded with Mr. Pinckney, the best treaty which it was possible to obtain of the British government. In uniting in the negotiation and signing the treaty, I committed my reputation on the result, and it is only by the course which the business afterwards took, that any unpleasant occurrence has arisen between the administration and myself.
These were the circumstances which produced the impression, which I have acknowledged in the commencement of this letter, that your friendship had been withdrawn from me. But the assurances which you now make me, and the perfect knowledge which I have of your rectitude and sincerity have completely effaced that impression, and restored to my mind, that entire and friendly confidence, which it had always been accustomed to cherish.
I am perfectly satisfied, that you never meant to injure me, and that a belief, that I had suffered by any act, to which you were an innocent party, would give you great pain. Still the circumstance of my having signed a treaty which was disapproved, for imputed great defects; in having exceeded my powers, in signing it, which I should not have done but in a firm belief that I promoted thereby the best interests of my country, and of the administration, while I exposed myself to great responsibility by the measure, have given a handle to those who have wielded it, with great effect against me. You can little imagine to what extent the mischief has been carried. I could give you many details which it would be as painful to read as for me to recite.
When I saw that I was depressed in a country which I had so long served with fidelity and zeal, I could not be indifferent either to the cause, or the consequences resulting from it. My sensibility was naturally increased, by the excitement of those on the ground, who, by taking part in my favor, had essentially compromised themselves. I replied to the denunciation that was circulated against me here for improper purposes to many of my friends, who called on me in decisive terms and complained earnestly of the injury done me by it. The sum of all these conversations, which were always of a nature confidential, it is not in my power to recollect with precision. It is possible that on some cases I may have expressed myself with too much zeal, and in others been misconceived. You may however be assured, that my sole object was to do justice to myself in a case of peculiar hardship, and that I never went beyond that point. * * * * *
I am happy that we have had this explanation with each other. It has satisfied me that I had misconceived your feelings and disposition towards me. Nothing remains to prevent as far as possible all further acquaintance. From the period above mentioned of peculiar excitement, I have been sensitive to this object, and shall pursue it in future with still greater zeal. I estimate the acts of my friends by the intention only. Being satisfied in that point I can bear with indifference any consequences which may casually result from them. I am aware that under free governments it is difficult to avoid those of the kind alluded to, for persons whose important good was ever altogether free from some alloy. I am however equally aware, that the evils incident to the system, if indeed there are any, even to the individual who suffers under them, are trifling when compared with the great blessings which it imparts.
I am, dear sir, &c. &c. JAMES MUNROE. P.S. From an expression in your letter, I had not supposed that I had entered any objection to the association of one with me, in the business at London, I perceive that you have not read, or if you have read, that you have forgotten my letter of February 2d, 1806. I therefore send you a copy of it, which I have to request that you will be so good as to return me after perusing it.
Washington City, April 11, 1808. DEAR SIR, An indisposition of periodical head-ach
has for some time disabled me from business, and prevented my sooner acknowledging your letter of March 22, and returning that of February 2, 1806, which it inclosed. The receipt of that of March 22, has given me sincere pleasure. Conscious that I never felt a sentiment towards you that was not affectionate, it is a great relief to me to find that the doubts you had entertained on that subject are removed by an explanation of the circumstances which produced them. Some matters however not appearing from your letter, not yet sufficiently understood, I have conceived that a more minute detail of the facts bearing on them would completely disarm them of all misconstruction.***
You observe that the letters from hence containing no expression of a desire that you should come home or remain there, and the facility afforded to your departure by the commissions to Mr. Pinckney seemed to authorise an inference that you were considered as in the way of the administration. The truth however, was thus: Your letters from Madrid, in 1804—5, expressed your anxious wish and intention to come home on your return to London. My extreme wish was that you should remain there, and I hoped by not being in a hurry to answer that manifestation of your desire, time might produce a change in your mind. But as soon as it was known (during the session of 1805—6) that yourself and Mr. Madison, were both contemplated as candidates for the succession to the presidency, I became apprehensive that by declining longer to assent to your return, I might be suspected of a partial design to keep you out of the way. This produced the acquiescence in your desire to come home, which then took place, and the commission to Mr. Pinckney to succeed you whenever you should determine to come; and these motives clearly show themselves in my letter of March 16,* which says, 'I shall join Mr. Pinckney of Maryland, as your associate for settling our differences with Great Britain. He will be authorised to take your place whenever you think yourself obliged to return. It is desirable for your own, as well as the public interest that you should join in the settlement of this business, and I am perfectly satisfied that if this can be done so as to be here before the next meeting of Congress, it will be greatly for your benefit. But I do not mean to overrule your own determination, (i.e. either to stay or come home) which measures to be taken here will place in perfect freedom.' Here you will perceive how much I wished your aid in the joint commission, and that your longer continuance there could not but, in itself, be desirable, but that I did not ask it from an apprehension that your return before the next Congress might be important to your higher interests.
I consider it now as a great misfortune that my letter of March 16, did not go on to you, it would I trust, have corrected the inferences of a change in my affections towards you, drawn from a combination of circumstances, which circumstances were produced from very different causes, and some of them from the very strength of those very affections of which you thought that they noted a diminution, a desire to conform your movements in point of time, to what I deemed your best interests. I have gone thus minutely into these details from a desire to eradicate from your mind every fibre of doubt as to my sentiments towards you; and I am persuaded they will satisfactorily solve every circumstance which might at any time have occasioned doubt. I have done it too, the more cordially, because I perceive from your letter that disposition to a correct view of the subject which I knew to be inherent in your mind. What I have hitherto said has been confined to my own part only of these transactions. Yet it would be a criminal suppression of truth were I not to add that in the whole course of them, Mr. Madison has appeared to be governed by the most cordial friendship for you, has manifested on every occasion the most attentive concern for whatever might befriend your fame or fortune, and been as much alive to whatever regarded you, as a brother could have been.
I salute you with great and unchanged affections. A Copy, (Signed) TH: JEFFERSON. Richmond, April 18, 1808.
DEAR SIR, I had the pleasure to receive some days past your favor of the 11th and that of the 13th, to-day. Being perfectly satisfied with the explanations and assurances which you had given me in your preceding letters, that * This letter was sent to Col. Newton at Norfolk, to be forwarded to Col. Monroe, by a particular vessel; but the opportunity being lost, it was sometime afterwards returned to the President.
I had taken an improper idea of your disposition towards me, the details contained in your last one were not necessary in that view. I receive them, however, with great interest, because, in giving them, you afforded me a new proof of your friendship.
I am, Dear Sir, With great respect, Very sincerely your friend, JAMES MONROE.
