With an account Of the Early History
of the Countrywide Constitution of the
United States, aud ChronoIo ical Index;
illustrated with several hundred engra>
wigs.
ass-Il is the determination of tho pub
Usher to spare neither pains nor expense
to make this work perfectly acceptable to
every family throughout the entire coun-
try. 1t vii! be found the most attractive
aud cheapest ever presented TO the patron
age Of the American people, The pre-
paration Of the work has been attended
with great labor and expense. History
requires distant elnlnencc, from which
to take an impartial view Of the charac~
ter of the transactions which submit them
selves to the recording pen: but more
than half a century has now elapsed since
the colonis,s first asserted their indepcn-
dence; and the generation, whose arduous
struggles achieved so glorious result,
has passed away 10 tie silent tomb.
Through the whole work, the editor
has aimed to do Justice without asperitv;
to applaud patriotism, bu; not TO Justify
its excuses; to condemn tyranny, but
not to overlook the virtues Of many of
It's instruments; and 10 exhibit the kindly
prospect of the future more strongly than
the irritating aspect of the past. The
great interest that the bare mention of
such a work is calculated TO excite, has
encouraged the editor to make il every
way verify of a liberal patronage. An
extensive sale can only enable the pub
Usher to offer it at the low price proposed.
