ngs, 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 we'll known ability of the author, the abun-
dant means which he possessed, VIZ: more than
two hundred Folio volumes of Original manu-
scripts, purchased by Congress. ten years re-
searches in the public Offices in London, Parls,
Washington, and all the States which formed Inc
conlederacy during the Revolution, as we'll as the
access he has gained TO valuable private papers IN
different parts OF the COuntrY-hare 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 compen.
stated in sume degree for the time and labor they
have cost. Its publication has not only involved
extended and laborous research on the part OF
the editor, but great pecunlary Responsiveness on
the paIt of the publishers.
! The price affixed 10 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
lications and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must Ielv on an extensive sale for their renu-
neration.
The engravings alone are thought by many to
be worth the cost of the whole work. 10 non-
subscribers the price will be enhanced.
| Many testimonials Of unqualified appreciation
Nigh be added, by gentlemen who have examined
the work, but the publishers conceive 1t to be un-
necessary. Letters have been received from ma
nv distinguished persons concurrlng IN the oPln-
| ion that the work is, in every respect, richly de-
serving of public patronage.
