The papers relative to the conduct of the commanders in chief in the West Indies, are fully given; and, with the view of enabling the public to judge rightly, fome scarce documents, explanatory of the tranfactions in that part of the world, have been obtained.
The meditated attack upon France by the emigrants, aided by the British forces, in which the co-operation of the Chouans and infurgents of Poitou is expected, has induced the Editor to procure and give a place to many papers which fhew the objects and the terms on which the different parties are united.
Befides thefe, the Editor's attention has been directed to all other fubjects which come within the plan of his work. The peace between Pruffia, Tuscany, and France, the proceedings of the German empire, the conduct of the French in Spain, and the degree of defire for peace, manifested both in England and France, are placed in the clearest point of view, by the Petitions inferted among the Parliamentary Papers, Cambacere's Report, &c. &c.
It was last winter fuggefted to the Editor, that it would accommodate the Patrons of this Work, if it were published twice in the year, inftead of once; for, it was observed, that although every person interested in the political affairs of Europe would have it as a Library Book, yet the lateness of its publication rendered it rather a Collection of Materials for the Historian than for the Statesman acting in the fcene. The truth of this remark has induced the Editor to publish it twice in the year, and he calculates that the two parts will make no more than one volume of the former fize..
