Though not strictly within the scope of his present duties, the author respectfully suggests to families and persons having the custody of old documents and writings, the obligation on their part to preserve them from waste, as they are of value to the cause of truth and for the objects of history. The letters from Hon. James Jones, a representative in Con gress, to Gen. Blackshear, in 1800, respecting the Western Territory, then belonging to Georgia, and the difficulties which delayed the Compact of 1802, furnish a striking example. Other letters might be specified of the same interesting class. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
