This reason no longer exists, though I shall still thankfully receive suggestions from any participant in the battle. Within another year the Government will have completed the Topographical Map of the field, by which time I hope to be ready to publish my work. As a publisher I would have done so long ago, but as a historian not until I feel that I have written the truth--the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. PAINTINGS OF THE BATTLE. I have also in progress, the finest Collection of Oil Paintings executed of any battle in this country. The whole to be known as "THE GETTYSBURG ART GALLERY." [Illustration: REPULSE OF LONGSTREET'S CHARGE.] I have divided the Battle into a series of episodes, beginning with its commencement and continuing to its close, each to embrace such movements and operations as of themselves form a complete unit. Of each, I make an accurate historical design, which design I place in the hands of some eminent battle-scene painter, who will be responsible for the artistic rendering of the subject. Each painting is to be 7 × 4 ft., and when completed, will be exhibited in the places where the regiments represented in it were raised. The whole, together, will form a most complete and graphic representation of the Battle from its commencement to the close. Each of these paintings will be engraved on steel, and hereafter engravings may be had representing actual scenes, which, having been designed under the personal direction of the participants themselves, will possess the merit of historical truth.
