Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Gilbert Motier De Lafayette: A Marquis of France; A General in the American and French Revolutions; The Compatriot and Friend of Washington; The Champion of American Independence, and of the Rights and Liberties of Mankind; From Numerous and Authentick Sources From these numerous sources I have endeavoured to cull the most interesting facts; to reconcile and correct their dis crepancies and contradictions; and to weave from the materi. Als thus gathered, a faithful narrative of the life and character of lafayette, with a strict regard to truth and justice, and to correct chronological and historical order. To state in each instance to which author I may be indebted for an inci. Dent, a thought, or a narrative sentence, would be impracti. Cable. Where I am deserving of credit, for originality of arrangement, of diction or of sentiment, the reader will award it: where I am not, that credit will be withheld, or awarded to others. I have no pride or ambition of author ship. 1 claim no merit for this volume, except that of a faithful compilation -and what else is all History - all Biography? If this work shall be deemed worthy to rank with the useful publications of the day - if it shall contrib. Ute to elevate the taste and sentiments of the American people, and increase in them the desire of investigating the history and biography of their own country and if it shall lead them justly to appreciate the services and merits of one to whom they are so much indebted for the privileges they enjoy - my object will be attained - I shall be amply rewarded.
