To tho Correspondents of Henry Clay.
 THE subscriber being now engaged in an en. largement and completion of his LIFE AND 'rIMEs OF HENRY CLAY, finds on examination of Mr. Clay's papers and correspondence at Ashland, that his Private Correspondence is of material importance for complete exhibition of his char acter and history, and of thnse portions of the history of the times with which he was connec- ted. As Mr. Clay was not in the habit of taking copies of his own letters, they are now scattered over the country in the hands of his numerous correspondents, and have doubtless been pre- served. No matter how private or even ( on. fdentia. the correspondence may have been, if not of nature 10 render its posthumous publica. ton improper, it is very effective mode oI illus. tratng character, and is often important in his. tory. The subscriber therefore respectfully and whether in the earlier or later periods of his life, in public or priyte stations, who may he in poses- sion of original letters from MT. Clay on any subject whatever not sacred to privacy alter death, that they will be pleased, if not inconsis. tent with their feelings, 10 forward such letters to the publishers of the work, A. s.
