INGERSOLL'S LATE' WAR. 



HISTORICAL SKETCH 



OF THE 



SECOND WAR 



BETWEEN' THE 



UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN, 



DECLARED BY ACT OF CONGRESS, JUNE 18, 1812, 

 CONCLUDED BY PEACE, FEBRUARY 15, 1815. 



BY 



CHARLES J. INGERSOLL. 



To be Complete in Three Volumes. 



VOLUME I. EMBRACING THE EVENTS OF 1812—1813. 



ONE VOLUME OCTAVO OF 516 PAGES, 



Beautifully Printed, and done up in neat extra cloth, and sold separately. 



The connection with the government which Mr. Ingersoll has enjoyed, owing to his 

 seal in Congress at various times, has furnished him with a fund of novel and curious in- 

 formation respecting the events of the war and the persons who figured in that stirring 

 period. Not only the operations and events of the lime, both warlike and political, were 

 seen by him, but also the secret springs and movements which directed them, and which 

 could only be known to one situated as he was. 



" We do not remember ever to have read a more striking sketch than the one just preceding. — 

 It is of a character with the whole book, and imparts to the style of the writer a degree of unusual 

 spirit, making it more like some well-told and ingenious story, than the detail of mere matters of 

 fact. We have no doubt that Mr. Ingersoll's book will be rapidly purchased and eagerly read. 

 Men of all parties will admire its frankness, and the numerous rich and long-buried stores of infor- 

 mation with which it abounds. Even those who would assail, will pause before views so ably, so 

 boldly, and so intelligently expressed, and portraits so critical and just." — Daily Union. 



" There is a freshness in the volume which is peculiar, as the author — being in Congress during 

 the period of the war — had opportunities which have rarely been offered to the historian. He was 

 intimately connected with the leading men of the administration then existing, and he now relates 

 much that passed uuder his notice. We have no doubt but that the work will be sought with great 

 avidity." — U. S. Gazette. 



" The History of Mr. IngersoU, we cannot doubt, will create no little excitement throughout the 

 country. The universally interesting nature of the subject, the vigour and ability with which it is 

 evidently written, and the manner in which distinguished men, living and dead, were connected 

 with the great events it narrates, will combine to give it a very wide circulation. It will be in 

 many respects the most marked publication of the day. We can see marks of a vigour of mind, 

 a fulness of investigation' and a striking originality of manner, which cannot fail to make the book 

 exceedingly attractive to a very wide circle of readers." — N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.
