The hiftory of the Indian War is complete, and is compiled from the official papers, and the most authentic narratives that have been fubmitted to the Public..

The affairs of Poland and of Sweden have been chiefly detailed from original communications on which we have reafon to depend. The Debates of our own Parliament are given as in the preceding volumes; that is, the whole of the arguments on every queftion of importance is exhibited in an abridged fate.

In our view of Literature, and in the other departments of the work, we can venture to affure the Public, that no pains have been omitted to render it in every respect deferving of their patronage.
