Washington, and all the States which formed the
confederacy during the Revolution, 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 cOhpen-
sated in some degree for the time and labor thev
have cost. Its publication has not only involved
extended and laborious research on the part Of
the editor, but great pecunary responsibilities Oh
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 investmenI
and expenditures connected with this undertaking
are much greater than usually attended such pu,-
locations, and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must Iely on an extensive sale for their
neratlon.
The engrayings alone are thought by many 10
be worth the cost of the whole work. To 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 irom ma
nv distinguished persons concurrlng In the Opln-
ion that the work Is, IN every respect, lchly de-
serving of public patronage.
