Memoirs Of the Washington and Adams Admin


isfrafions, and Of their Cabinets, from the papers
Of Oiver Woicoh, Secretary Of The Treasury.
Edited by GEORGE GIBBs.


Such is the title of an important and valuable ad-
diton to the historical lore OF the country, which it
is proposed to publish some time in the course of
the approaching winter.


The position as well as the career Of OLIVER WoI-
coTT was one of great importance. His connexion
with the Treasury Department, from its earliest
ganizaton, brought him into constant and intimate
association with WASHINGTON, ADAMS, HAMLToN--
the great names Of the Heoric Age Of the Republic
and the original letters, now to be published for the

the times, indicate the estimation in which he was

OF TINS work. and to add that an agent is at present
engaged IN procuring subscriptions for il.


from glance at portion of the authors manu-
scripts, however, we are fully warranted in saving
that the work IS one which should be found in the
library OF every statesman and gentleman in the

very numerous, and many Of them exceedingly in

father and son. RuFUs KING, WILLIAM SMITH, (of
South Carolina,) OLIVER ELLSWORTH, JOHN TURN
BULL, and many others of the great names in the
annals of the country. Upon the value and interest
Of their letters might dilate great length, but
our readers Of course will be better satisfied with
specimen of them than with the crude remarks which
we might make.


We annex, therefore, without further comment,
letter written by ALEXANDER HAMILTON to OLIVER
WoLcoTT in 1900, repelling with equal power and
judgment the idea entertained by portion of the
Federalists Of the day to secure the elevation of
.4aron Burr to the Presidency instead of THOMAS
JEFFERsoN.--New Pork Evening Gazette.
