NOTE.-To avoid encumbering the pages with numerous references, very few authorities are cited in the body of the work; and a History of the American Revolution contained in the Library of Useful Knowledge, and a History of the Western World, composing a part of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopædia, have been occasionally quoted with slight alterations, and without making any other than the present general acknowledgment.
