ADVERTISEMENT. THE Committee of Publication now present to their associates of the Society and to the public, the first part of a Second Volume of Historical Memoirs. They believe that its contents will be found to possess interest, and to be well deserving a perusal. Several articles intended for the present publication have been unavoidably deferred, papers communicated at an earlier date claiming a preference among these should be mentioned Mr. Conyngham's History of Cumberland County, Mr. Emlen's Notes of Indian Speeches, and Mr. Watson's Extracts from his History of Philadelphia. The Society have lately received a number of interesting communications, and have at this time in their hands, materials enough to complete the second volume, as soon as public patronage shall appear sufficient to justify them in putting it to press. Nov. 23d, 1827. |
