The Portraits were copied from the orgInaf

Wings have been compiled from the best draw
ings, as we'll English and French as American
Special aid was derived from series OF Manu-
script drawings in the possession OF Gen. La ay-
ette which are executed with scientific accuracy
and beauty.
The we'll known ability of the author, the ahun-
dant means which he possessed, viz: more than
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 we'll as the
access he has gained to valuable private papers III
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 conlpen-
stated in some degree for the time and labor thew
have cost. Its publication has not only involved
extended and laborious research or the part ot
the editor but great pecuniary responsibilities on
the part of the publishers
The price affixed to this work is less when the
exeron is considered. than that OF any other pub
lication in Europe America. The Investment
and expenditures connected with this undertaking
are much greater than usually attended such pub
licaons and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on an extensive sale for their renu-
neration
The enrraviugs alone are thought by many to
be worth the cost of the whole work. 10 non
subscribers the price will be enhanced.
