TO THE CITIZENS OF THE

AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

THE diffidence I feel in offering this volume to my fellow citizens, is greatly diminished in reflecting upon the peculiarly interesting subject of it. However imperfect its execution-however numerous its errors, and however deficient in style, the importance of the subject matter, will, I trust, secure to it from you an indulgent reception

With ardent wishes for the perpetuity of our Republican Institutions,

I am, Fellow Citizens,

Your Obedient Servant,

S. PUTNAM WALDO.

Hartford, Sept. 1819.
