Notes: "The ... following pages ... comprise a brief but comprehensive and perspicuous history of Federalism ... from the time it first protuded its ugly and deformed features ... to the present day. The writer has in a calm and candid manner, and in all the energy of truth exhibited the principles and views of both Federalists, and Democratic Republicans. If he has not told all the truth of the former, he has told nothing more ... he has not 'set aught down in malice' against them. Read ... this incontrovertible statement of facts ... in which the Federalists are judged and condemned by their own deeds: in which they are weighed and found wanting. Mirror editor."--p. [3].

Addressed to his "fellow citizens of Delaware." This would seem to eliminate Mathew Carey, who used the pseudonym "Publicola," as author of this work.
