In regard to what is put forth as
southern History of the War" written
by me, repeat that the work is nothin.
more than some old annals First Year
OF the War &c which has been revamped,
and that the true standard and original
history am now composing, under the
encouragement of Generals Lee, Johnston.
&c. is cntitled "Thc Lost Cause" and ls
exclusively in the press Of F.. b. Treat ~
Co., New York.
All Southern newspapers are requested
by giving me the benefit of this explana-
ton, to protect Southern writer and
ch!igc 4 brother editor.
EDWD. A. POLLARD.
In justice to the public and myself, de-
sire to explain that certain annals"
which hastily and rudely compiled during
the war, and now being advertised AZ
southern History Of the War;" has no
similarity to or connection whatever with
the official Southern history of the war,
entitled The Lost Cause" which will soon
be issued b.; f. B. Treat Il Co., 654 Broad
way, New York. The new work has all been
written since the close Of the war, and
drawn from official materials, the result of
four years collection and research, and by
contributions directly from the pens of the
most famous Southern generals. 1t is ap-
proved by the most distinguished leaders
OF the Confederacy; and it is the only work
III which have aspired to the title of a
standard Southern history Of the war,

New YORK, July II, 1856;
have been informed that the publisher
OF my old work is circulating a letter from,
me, dated November s. 1865, expressing
satisfaction in certain business relations
with him. 1t is only necessary to observe
the date, to see the dodge" The letter
was written long before he 'showed him.
