Notes:

"This volume of the Elements of useful knowledge, begins with the continuation of the history of the United States, from the commencement of the Revolution, and brings it down to the adoption of the present Constitution, and the organization of the government in 1789. ... This volume completes the view of the United States ... The two first volumes are closely connected, and ought to be used together; but the succeeding volumes will be more distinct, and may be separated without inconvenience to the reader."--Preface, p. [3-4].
