The Portraits were copied from the original
paintings. The plans, sketches, and other engra-
wings, have been compiled from the best draw
ings, well English and French as American
Special aid was derived from series of Manu-
script drawings in the possession Of Gen. La Fay
cite, which are executed with scientific accuracy
and beauty
The we'll 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
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 cothpen-
sated in some degree Tor 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 on
the part of the publishers.
The price affixed 10 this work is less, when the
exerton 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
locations, and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on an extensive sale for their remu-
neration.
The engravings alone are thought by many TO
be worth the cost of the whole work To nou-
subscribers the price will be enhanced
Many testimonials of unqualified appreciation
migit be added, by gentlemen who have 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.
Among the many who have given the work the
aid of their subscription and influence, the fol-
lowing gentlemen, VIZ: Hons. John Q Adams,
