On page 33 the word animosity is misspelled, which the intelli- gent reader will correct.
On some future day we propose, if the public desire it, to issue another edition of this book, which will be much improved and enlarged. It will contain interesting reminiscences, anecdotes, &c., and thus endeavor to perpetuate the memory of those gallant spirits who took up arms in a cause they believed to be just and right.

Being so convenient to the city of Washington by Ferry and Cars, makes it a very desirable home for persons doing business in that city. Hourly communication between the cities.
Connected with the Braddock House is an old Colonial Stone house built in 1752 of material brought from Europe. It was in this house that Gen. Braddock had his headquarters when he offered Gen. Washington a commission as aid; it was in this house the first Colonial Congress assembled, composed of the Governors of the thirteen Colonial States to devise ways and means for the support of Braddock's campaign. Thousands of strangers visit this house annually. Its high prominence secures a magnificent view of Washington, the Potomac, and surrounding fortifications.
THE TABLE, especially, will receive particular attention, and the best the market affords will always be served in the best style.
BAR and BILLIARD ROOMS have been added, and the finest Wines and Liquors will be served.
