and these hopes, venture 20 make this pr0p0-
cal to the American Public,
That faithful and living picture Of this
period may be preserved, not only for our own
day and generation, but for many yet to come,
every lineament, however small, If truly chat
acteristic, viii be given; and, whilst repetition
will be as studiously avoided as may he prac-
ticabe, still every State in the Union must con
tribute It's due and relative portion towards per
fecting the graphic delinealion, so that the
great moral picture OF these sti ring DAYS mny
be educed from oil these various sources, ant
thereby assure all coming times that the vol
ume IS no parlzan work OF an oyer-2ealous In
dyidual, but a yeraci0us chronicle oil all aa
may be recorded therein.
