Since the above Notice was prepared for the press a work on 

 the same subject, and drawn partly from the same sources, has ap- 

 peared in Boston,! hesitated in consequence whether I should give 

 publicity to mine, but seeing that there is some difference in the view 

 taken of the subject in this little tract, and that both may tend to pro- 

 mote the same desirable object, I have determined to persevere in 

 my original intention.
