IA Fac Smile of Washington's hand writing
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 MANI
script drawings in the possession OF Gen. La Fay
etc. 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 manu-
scripts, purchased by Congress- ten years re-
searches in the public Offices in London, Paris
Washington and all the States which formed the
conlederacy 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 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-
sated in some degree Tor the time and labor they
have cost. Its publication has not only involved
extended and laborious research on the part Of
the editor, but great pecuniary responsibilities
the part of the publishers.
The price affixed 10 this work is less. when the
exeriion is considered than that of any other pub
hcation 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
must rely on an extensive sale for their renu-
neratiOn.
The engraviDos alone are thought by many 10
be worth the cost of the whole work. To nou-
subscribers the price will be enhanced.

Nigh be added. by gentlemen who have examined
the work, but the publishers conceive 1t TO De un-

ion that the work IS in every respect, richly de-
