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 a 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 hundred Folio volumes of Original
scripts, purchased by Congress. ten years re-
searches in the public offices in London Paris,
Washington, and all the States which formed the
confederacy 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 il enabling
him to execute with more accuracy and complete
ness his main purpose, and thus to have corhpen-
stated in some degree for the time and labor they
have cost. It's publication has not only involved
extended and laborous research on the part of
the editor, bat great pecunary responsibilities on
the part of the publishers.
The price affixed TO this work is less. when the
exeriion 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 putt
licatons, and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on an extensive sale tor their remu-
neratIon
The engravings alone are thought by many to
be worth the cost of the whole work. To nom
subscribers the price will be enhanced.
Many testimonials of unqualified appreciation
nigh be added, by gentlemen who nave examined
the work. but the publishers conceive it to be un-
necessary. Letters have been received from ma
ny distinguished persons concurring in the opin-
ion that the work is, in every respect richly de-
serving of public patronage.
