Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Additional Facts, Observations, and Conjectures Relative to the Generation of the Opossum of North-America: In a Letter From Professor Barton to Professor J. A. H. Reimarus, of Hamburgh
You can easily conceive, why the intercourse be tween your country and my own is thus interrupted, and difficult. We, too, are engaged in war: a war long looked for by many: a war I believe unavoidable and just, -solemnly just, - on the part of America, between her and the mother country. Whatever may be the result of this war, which already has added dignity to the name and character of the united-states; though it is certain, that it will deprive us of many comforts, and advantages, and luxuries; and among others of the sweet luxury of tasting the science and literature of Europe, I have no doubt that we shall long continue to be a free, a great, and a happy people.
