The Portraits were copied from the original
paintings. The plans, sketches, and other engra-
wings have been compiled from the best draw
ings, as well English and French as American.
SPECIAL aid was derived from series of Manu-
script drawings in the possession of Gen. La Fay
ette which are executed with scientific accuracy
and beauty.
The well known ability Of the author the abun-
dant means which he possessed, viz more than
two bundled Folio volumes of Original manu-
scripts, purchased by Congress. ten wears re-
searches in the public offices in London. Paris
Washington, and all the States which formed the
coniederacy during the Revolution, as well as the
access he has gained to valuable private papers in
different parts Of the country-have brought into
his hands mass of materials, original and impor-
tant IN their character, which we trust will be
found to have contributed essential aid in enabling
him to execute with more accuracy and complete
ness his main purpose, and thus TO have cohIpen-
sated in some degree for the time and labor they
have cost. lis publication has not only involved
extended and la5orious research on the part of
The editor, but great pecuniary responsibilities on
the part Of the publishers.
The price affixed to this work is less, when the
exertion is considered. than that OF any other pub
lication in Europe or America. The investment
and expenditures connected with this undertaking
are much greater than usually attended such pub
lcations and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on an extensive sale for their remu-
ner3ti0n.
The engravings alone are thought by many to
be worth the cost OF the whole work. To non-
subscribers the price will he enhanced.
Many testimonials of unqualified appreciation
nigh be added, by gentlemen who have examined
the work, but the publishers conceive it TO be un
necessary Letters have been received from ma
nv distinguished persons concurring in the opn-
ION that the work l., IN every respect, Tlchly de-
