First sentence: UNDERSTANDING that the descendants of Dr. Benjamin Rush will not reply to Mr. Wm. B. Reed's recent assault upon their ancestor, the writer, personally acquainted with many of them, and, as an American, indignant at Mr. Reed's attempt to depreciate the national inheritance in the fair fame of the Founders of our Independence, by exhibiting to the public as a true picture of one of these patriots, a portrait which, with no light other than that of a treacherous imagination, he has outlined by little stabs with a stiletto steeped in the gall of his passions, has felt impelled to do so himself and to unmask the real motives of the attack.
