TO THE PUBLIC. THIS Work is offered to the public at crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts : A midfb the ravages of war, and the convulsi ons of a revolutionary age, they must inevi tably languilh and expire, unless the fame happy country, which affords an afylam to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall fofter and patronize the labour and affi diftty of men of genius and talents. Advaac ing, indeed, rapidly to the' zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquility, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, asw&llasher fupcrior in morality and government. Under theprefent circum stances of the world, however, the oppor tunity occurs to anticipate the destined peri od of pre-eminence ; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and pro tedtrefs of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind. On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he fliall not fail to attract the public attention ; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his fubjeA. No country pof felfes fcencs better calculated to inspire .ideas of the beantiful and sublime; to exalt the foul as the philofopheifc to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which lie profufely feat- j tered over the American continent : But un- ; fortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so fuperficially explored, or so iniperfe&ly delineated. Hitherto, indeed J the toil of converting a wilderness into a state s of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the jiecelfaries and comforts of life; and of adap ting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, teems to have been fufficient to en gage ail the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overstepped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic lcenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions ; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the IVTiflifipi would have been less valued, than the fe&ion of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in refpedt to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American finds leisure, with a retrofpc&ive and joyful sensi bility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed 011 this country ; and the Euro pean is compelled, with an anxious and ex pe6lant«ye, to look abroad for that peace «5c prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home. . The attention of mankind being; thus di rected towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its politi cal interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new fubjeA, and in a new style of execution. The art of engrav ing in Aqaatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout .Eu rope ; its close imitation of finifhed draw ings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depidts the light and graceful touch es of nature, are properties, that seem pecu liarly adapted to the American fccnery,fome of the tints and colors of which are certain ly no where else te be found. E*clufive of these advantages,it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repo sitory of descriptive topographical and histo rical fads refpe&ing the circumjacent coun try from which the views were taken : but to give full cfifed: td this part of his undertak ing, the author must solicit the afliftance of evary citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the NaturaL hiilory,ortothe memorable events, connected with the refpedive engravings. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with refped. to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the fcveral States, commencing at the city of Washington. As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be im proper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American raanufadure, and of the bell quality. Twelve drawings are ready, and the ut moftdifpatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alhided to, the following may be mentioned : 1. A view of Mount Vernon, the feat of the President of the United States. 2. Phi'-a^elphia. 3. City of Walhington. 4. New-York, &c. See. See. It is the design of the Author to finilh those objedts firft, which are mos important and interrefting ; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expence, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Pro posals. In that cafe, however, the ficft set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not wish to renew their fubferiptions, or a series conneAed with the second set for thoi'e, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed. Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the A-thor requests may be ad drefted to him at New-York. Subscriptions are received tyy Mr. Harri fon, at his Print-{hop, Maid« n lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-feller, No. 118, Market street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-fellcrs in the United ifcates.

The real securities given for the payment of I'he Prizes, are held by the President and two Dire&orsof the Bank, of Columbia, and are valued at more than halt the amount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by ap pointment of the late Commissioners aflifted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous talk a se cond time on behalf of the public ; a fuffici qpt number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni versity and the other federal obje&s may con tinue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be fpesdily published, together with its constitution.

By accounts received from the different, parts of the Continent as well as from Eu rope, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are allured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necefTary to insure a fafe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indifpenl'able.
