PREFACE.

VARIOUS

ARIOUS caufes, which it would be fruitlefs to detail, have delayed the publication of the New Annual Register a little beyond the time which we had originally fixed for its appearance. Our readers, however, we flatter ourfelves, will not be haftily difpofed to accufe us of unpunctuality, when they confider the great importance of our domeftic tranfactions, independent of the foreign matter, during the laft year. The volume for 1798, we can venture to promife, will be much earlier in its appearance; that volume will contain information highly interesting, but which, for reasons that must be obvious to every reflecting perfon, it was neceffary and proper to withhold for the prefent. It will contain (befides the ufual historical matter) a copious, impartial, and authentic narrative of the affairs of Ireland, and a view of the prefent ftate of North America, and of the difpute between the French Republic and the United States.
