establishment, known by the nRme of the

from the Presidents House and the pub
Offices. He will be provided with the
best of liquors, bedding, stabIing, anC IN

all times, be furnished with private COM
Portable and well furnished rooms, with
good and faithful servants to attend upon
them There is, perhaps, no house OF
public entertainment in this country better
calculated for the purpose than this, and
none, it may be safely affirmed, IN his
District at all equal TO il. The house is
now undergoing some improvements, and
will in the course Ola lew days, be ready
for the reception of company. There are
four or FIVE lines of stages which run to

excellent well constructed steam boat
which plies every day between George
town and Alexandria.
The subscriber who lately kept the tav-
erD at RoSsburgh, near Bladensburgb,
deems it unnecessary here TO make dis
play of promises for giving satisfaction 10
those who may think fit to favor him with
their custom; but this muchh he will say,
that no exertions on bis part, shall be
wanting to give general satisfaction, and
he does hope that from his experience IN
this line OF business, and his general dis
position TO please, to ENJOY full share OF
public patronage. His charges too, shall
be regulated by the presentand increasing
appreciation OF money; so that his custo-
mels may expect not only the best accom-
dations. but reasonable balls also.

Extracts from The Preface.

"To me it has long appeared singular that
while our schools abound with a variety of read
ing books for children and youth, there has nev
er yet appeared compendious History Of the
United States fitted for our common schools than
which l scarcely know of a work more needed.
Instead Of those books usually read in our schoo l.
consisting of detached pieces on various subjects,
would not a work like the following more en-
gage the attention and interest the feelings and
would il not be otlar greater utility' Or, il the
former are retained, ought the latter be neg
lected
Z" BY The reading Of history like the present,
no inconsderable general knowledge may be
obtained Of the story Of our fathers yet how
many are there almost entirely ignorant Of the
" tales of other times" as they relate to our own
country, whose ignorance would be removed by
the introduction, into our more humble seminal
res, of correct, succinct account, OF the prnci-
pal events which have marked the footsteps of
our prosperity, from the lowly and Responding
vale of struggle and ohscurity, to the already
lofty and brilliant heights of wealth, Of happi-
ness, and Of power"
