Citron. C. 17. V. 8. Some time ago 1 authorised the printer of the Patriot to An nounce to my fellow-citizens, that 1 was preparing for publication, a work to be entitled, “ The Life of Major General James Jack son, and a History of the Devo lution in the state.of Georgia." — I now assure my friends and the Public, that they shall not be dis appointed in the expectations that notice may have excited —In the course of the present year, this work shall be put into the Press. from an intimate acquaintance with Genera! Jackson ( and a per fect knowledge of the events \v hidi distinguished his character, combined with information lnf“ nished by others (to w horn I feel mvseif particularly obliged), have it probably more in my pow- j er to give a faithful and accurate j account of his life and actions, thancould be accomplished by a ny ot her hand ‘1 here are many interesting ma terials in my possession, aud the greatest labour 1 shall perbap ex perience will oe nt,forming a nar rative, from a mass of facts, some of winch would highly giatifv the curiosity of many individuals, but ought net t* be submitted to puli lie investiga'ion. 1 shall etulea- j voursoto selrct and arrange these facts, as to enable me at the same time, that 1 shall perform a duty to the memory and virtues ot mv once friend and General, to pre serve the rigid impartiality ts the Historian. 1 deem it me ssary to make these remarks, under an appreii'Tsimi. rl at it might be supposed, bv a few, that in uril ing tlie life of General Jackson, 1 would advert to incidents, whose only tendency would be to re light tin- flame of ancient animosity, without producing one beneficent -ff et, moral or political —It any have sulf red their minds to be influenced by this supposition,they will discover tinir mistake in the perusal of my woik. Justice shall be ample administered to tho private and Political integri y of General Jackson. His honesty, valour, and patriotism, were qua lities which distinguished bis ac tive and perilous career, and which neither envy, hatred or malevolence, can tarnish or dimi nish. Those qualities l shall free ly discuss, ana support them by facts and occurrences, every citi zen of common information is, or iwaydje possessed oJ —mv narra tive, therefore, as it will be sancti oned h\ truth, should be pursued with moderation and candour— -1 promise then to spare ns manv political and official iruittie* of tire men who may pass in review before me, as may comport with the duties I have imposed upon myself. Manv will find their names re corded in “ The History of the Devolution in the State of Geor gia,” who dp not now, (as Icon ceive), possess the sentiments 8c o, notions, which directed the measures and the conduct of Tfi Pati iots. But as they acted like heroes in that memorable period, they are entitled to the gratitude of posterity, and from us, all the consideration and respect which attach themselves to the charac ters ot Revolutionary soldiers. — The consistent and the apostate Whig will tiler-fore be iudts ciimintuely mentioned by me, & their actions extolled in the ra tio of their Hevoliui.nary merits. i he points of spccuhaive contio versy, which separate and divide I them at this da; , I shall leave to i -.he scrutiny of ihtirown coiiacr | ous rectitude, and the decision ot their country. Truth and Justice demand a correct History of the lieveluii ca in Georgia. | F.vcrv ‘Georgian ntast I-e j sible of this, who possesses any knowledge of the Revolutionary events in this state. Georgia can boast of heroes & statesmen, whose sendees and virtues, not only did honor l<> human nature, but placed them in the ranks ol the most faithful and zealous pa triots of the Revolution; yet, strange to tell, no historian has noticed them—their names and their services have been passed j over in silence, or left at the cits posal of a vague recollection, or an uncertain tradition 1\ 1 H w 'j ; lie niy duty, (I feel happy that it i is so), to rescue from oblivion e very Georgia Patriot, who, by his civil talents, or military at chlevements, supported the cans* of liberty and his country. Ihe common soldier shall not: be for go:ten, Every battle, combat & rencountre, in which Georgia troops signalized themselves, shall be particularly described — the ir bravery and exertions pro perly estimated—and the eriors of former accounts noted St cor rected. A History cf this kind must afford high satisfaction and inte rest to the Georgian who parti cipated in the tri 113 and dangers ot the Revolution; and before he depat ts to the bosom ot Washing’ ton, to know that his long forgot ten actions are placed upon re” cord, must be among the great est consolations he can receive- Those who were 100 \ oiing to engage in the arduous contests of the Revolution, and those who have grown up since that period, will, I hope, glow with equal aride and satisfaction in the ex- j pagination of annuls, which re- : cord the valour and patriotism ol j their ’/S Ancestors. In short, | this work, must be grea lye int- ‘ icsting u every- Citizen who loves this country, and reveres the principles of the revolution. ‘i hese are the general features of the work I propose submitting to the public. 1 invite every citizen to aid me, as much as mav be in his power. Any documents trans mitted me, relative to ant- lie vo lution,i:y occurtences—the cha racter and set vices of Georgia Patriots —the V; z o S>peculation —any remarkable events under the Provincial Government the characters aud conduct of the Governors of this State since the establishme.ni ol Independency the Finances, commerce and a gticulture of this state —I will thankfully receive, and acknow ledge with gratitude.
