The Portraits were copied from the original paint
ings The plans, sketches, and other cngravings,
have been compiled from the best drawings as wen
English and French as American. Sprcai ad
was derived from series of manuscript drawings
in the possession Of General Lafayette, which are
executed with scientific accuracy aud beauty.
The well known ability Of the author, the abund-
ant means which he possessed, viz More than
two hundred folio volumes Of original manuscripts,
purchased oy Congress ten years researches IA
the public offices of London, Paris, Washington,
aud all the States which formed the conicderacy
during the revolution as well as the access he has
gained TO valuable private papers in different parts
of the counry,-have brought into his hands n
mass of materials original and important in their
character, which we trust will be found to have
contributed essential aid in enabling him to exc
cute with more accuracy and completeness his main
purpose, and thus to have compensated in some de-
gree for the time and labor they have cost. Its
publication has not only involved extended and Ia
borious research the part Of the editor, but great
pecunary expense on the part Of the publishers.
The price affixed 10 this work is less, when the
execution is considered, than that of any other pub
LEGATION in Europe America. The investment
and expenditures connected with this undertaking,
much greater than usually attend such publica.
tons; and II will be apparent that the publishers
must rely upon extensive sale for their remuner-
alton.
The engravings alone are thought by many 10 be
worth the whole price of the work. To non-sub-
scrbers the price will be much enhanced.
Many testimonials of unqualified appreciation
might be added, FROM gentlemen who have exomin.
ed the work, but the publishers conceive IL to be
many distinguished persons, concurring in the
opinion that the work is, in every respect, richly
deserving fthe public patronage.
