"THE former Volumes of our History were published under great disadvantages. The first of them came out in the height of our war, when all the power of Britain was exerted to compel America to give up her most essential rights; while one sect here were as earnest to compel all others to submit to their power in religious matters. How difficult then was it for a very imperfect man to give a just view of these affairs! And the many mistakes of the printers rendered the work still more obscure. And though the Second Volume was better composed, and more correctly printed, yet the last part of it was hurried through the press, so as to prevent its being finished as I intended. Yet I know not of any public dispute about the truth of facts in the History. Many have privately discovered their dislike of the publication of them, because their own schemes of power and gain were exposed thereby."
This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
