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 we'll known ability Of the author. the aburr-
dant means which he possessed, viz: more than
two hundred Folio volumes of Original manu-
scripts, purchased by Congress. ten years
searches in the public Offices in London, Paris,
Washington, and all the States which formed the
confederacy during the Revolution. as well as tho
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 b0
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 sone degree for the time and labor thew
have cost. Its publication has not only involved
extended and laborous research on the part of
the editor, but great pecuniary responsibilities
the part of the publishers
The price affixed to this work is less, when tho
exerton 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 puh-
LEGATIONS, and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on an extensive sale for their remu-
neration.

be worth the cost of the whole work To non
