Summary (extracted citations)

"Soon after the publication of the First Part of this work, in February 1792, my attention was called to other objects, and it became impossible for me to finish the Second Part as soon as I intended. I left England in November last; and, not having completed the three last chapters proposed in the Introduction, I left this chapter on Revenue and Expenditure in the hands of the bookseller, desiring him to publish it by itself. But the violent attacks on the Liberty of the Press in that country, which took place about that time, induced him to suppress the publication of this, and to discontinue the sale of the other. He has lately sent me the Manuscript; which I now offer, without any alteration, to the English Press in Paris". Joel Barlow. Paris 27 September. 1793.
