The portraits were copied from the original
paintings. The plans. sketches, and other en-.

in different parts of the country, lave brought
into his hands mass of materials, original and
important in their character, which we trust will
be found 10 have contributed essential aid in en-
abling him TO execute with more accuracy and
completeness his main purpose, and thus / have
compensated in some degree for the time and la
Dor they have cost. Its publication has not only
nvoved extended and laborioLs research on tie
part oi the editor but great pecuniary responsl-
oi Iiy on the part Of the publishers.
The price affixed I, 'his work, is less, when
she execution is considered, tliIn that OF any
other publication in Europe CT America.
The investment and expenditures connected with
this undertaking, arc Tuc greater than usually
attend such publications.; and il will be apparent
that The publishers must rely on an extens. I'VE sale
.uI their remuneration.
The ensravinss alone, are thought by m,ny,to
lie worth The Whole cost OF the work To non

might he added, from gentlemen Who have ex.
amned The work, but the publishers conceive 1t
TO be unnecessary. Letters have oeen received
from many disins nished persons, ccncurrins in
81 fh@t
