history of the two years in one volume, and to devote a separate volume to the public documents, law proceedings, and biographies.
The same matter will be found in the two volumes as was at first contemplated, but it will be differently arranged, with the view of preventing an interruption in the narration of events, which form one consistent and complete history.
In this volume, the public is presented with the historical portion; and in the second part which is to be published in the ensuing summer, will be comprehended the illustrating public documents, the law trials and the biographies.
Among the biographies will be those of John Jay, De Witt Clinton, Thomas A. Emmet, William Tilghman, Richard Stockton, John Eager Howard, and John Tayler Gilman, prepared from copious and authentic materials.
