Excerpt from Annals of the American Revolution, or a Record of the Causes and Events Which Produced, and Terminated in the Establishment and Independence of the American Republic: To Which Is Prefixed a Summary Account of the First Settlement of the Country, and Some of the Principal Indian Wars
Tins work, the reader will observe, is professedly a compilation. The plan of it, the number and length of its chapters, and the contents of each, were prescribed by the puplishers, to the compiler, who holds himself re sponsible to the public, only for his care and diligence in collecting his mate~ rials, and his judgment in arranging them. He has endeavoured to execute the laborious task assigned him with fidelity, and a strict regard to truth and facts, and in such a manner as to render it interesting and useful to all classes of his readers, especially to the generation now on the stage of action. A peculiar interest in the events here recorded has been exerted by the visit of the Friend of Washington, of our country, of liberty, and of man the Mar quis La Fayette and they will now be recurred to with a desire and feelings never before experienced. The scenes in which this distinguished man acted, and the battles which he fought, in which he bled, Will be adverted to and read with lively ardour and affectionate gratitude. The whole of our history, in such a state of feeling as now exists, will be read with deeper interest and happier and more lasting good effects than it ever was before. We cannot but notice, with much gratification, that the occurrence to which we have al luded, has taken place just in time to render the information here given par ticularly desirable Much of it that is appropriate, collected from scarce volumes of newspapers, the journals, public and private, ol the Congress, and other sources inaccessible to the mass of readers, Will be found collected in no other work. We shall deem ourselves happy it we can, in any way, contribute to increase the good efl'ects of the visit of our respected and belov ed friend, by rendering it subservient to the acquisition of a more extensive knowledge of the principles and military Operations of our Revolution.
