In this historical sketch I shall endeavour to submit the truth in an account of the contest between Great Britain and the United States of A merica, declared by act of Congress, approved the 18th of June, 1812. It enacted that war was thereby declared to exist between the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and I reland and the Dependencies thereof, and the United States of America and their Territories ;and that the President of the United States was thereby authorized to use the whole land and naval force of the United States to carry the same into effect, and to issue to private armed vessels of the United States commissions, or letters of marque and general reprisal, in such form as lie shonld think proper and under the seal of the United States, against the vessels, goods, and effects of the government of the said United Kingdom of Great Britain and I reland and the subjects thereof. This short act is the first declaration of war by law enacted through all the deliberative forms, debates and sanctions of the public proceedings of two distinct and independent houses of national representatives in congress, assembled from the distant regions of a republic of confederated states, approved by an elective chief magistrate, pursuant to the provisions of an organized VOL.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Capitol was the observatory from which events and impressions of the years 1812 and 1813 were described in a former volume of this historical sketch. As the war went on, American disasters decreased ;and the year 1814, to be presented in this volume, with severer trials, better fortunes, and admirable exploits, will bring us before it ends to satisfactorj and lastingpeace. Surveying the state of this and other countries, from the close of the first session of the Thirteenth Congress, early in A ugust, will prepare us for the opening of the second session in December, 1813. Having imposed a tolerable system of still deferred taxation, and made other inadequate provision for war. Congress adjourned, hoping that the future would be less disastrous than the past, the whole government flattering themselves that severer trials of republican institutions might be avoided ;for European convictions were much more prevalent then than now, when they are still by no means extinct, that republics are incapable of hostilities. A government 1iy the tenure of popular favor cannot save itself, in war, from the discredit of defeated armies by changing a ministry: but Madison sadministration could maintain power as well as place by nothing less than victory or peace. Eighteen of the first months of that war were unfortunately sacrificed to hopes of peace without due efibrts of war. When delusive hope ceased, strenuous exertion began, and as usual, fortune favored bravery, even though constrained and tardy. In the ardor of his temper declaring that peace must be dictated under the walls of Quebec, Mr. Clay spoke the voice of the whole West, most of the South and Central States, in short, of nearly all the six millions of supporters of the administration and the war.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

(With Maps of those Regions and of the Sacramento Valley. ...)
With Maps of those Regions and of the Sacramento Valley. BY CHARLES WILKES, XT. S. N. Commander of the United States Exploring Expedition. Octavo. Price 75 cents. This is the most desirable publication we have yet had on the new regions opened by the Mexican war on the Pacific ;indeed, it is indispensable to a just appreciation of the geography and physical capabilities of the country. It supplies, what all the other accounts are deficient in, a complete, systematic, scientific view of the whole land, in its individual parts, and in their general relations. It is written in sympathy with the latest developments of Physical Geography and Ethnology. What we get in books like those of Bryant or Thornton, is a personal record of partial observation or adventure, which supplies us with an important but easily misunderstood view of the region. Captain Wilkes, in this opportune work, maps out faithfully the whole, and his work accordingly, with its minute and accurate bearings, is worthy of constant reference in reading the fragments communicated in the newspapers, the discussions in Congress, or the more ambitious books of travellers. Though published at the low price of seventy-five cents, it contains no less than sixteen chapters, embracing an original and comprehensive geographical view of Western A merica, particular sketches of California and Oiegun, with separate considerations of the valleys, rivers, mountains, harbors, their agricultural and mineral wealth, the government, the routes of communication with the A tlantic, c, with three neatly executed maps. The chapter on the Indian Tribes contains much interesting matter from Mr. Hale s Ethnographical volume of the Exploring Expedition, of which, as yet, only one hundred copies have been printed by Government. We recommend this work as one of high utility for present use and constant future reference. N. Y. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
