During the greater part of my stay in Ken tucky, I have been unable, from indisposition, to endure the labour of writing; and hence, when my health has permitted, I have necessarily written with a degree of haste wholly meonsrstent with the care and attention which, under other Circumstances, I should certainly have be stowed upon my work. The necessity of sending the manuscript to new-england, sheet by sheet, Without even allowmg myself time to preserve copies of it, has undoubtedly led tt some errors of plan and ar rangement. The same necessity, together with that of luniting the vo lume to a given number of pages, has compelled me to omit several im portant incidents in the more recent portion of Mr. Clay's history.
