Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of William Alexander, Earl of Stirling; Major-General in the Army of the United States, During the Revolution: With Selections From His Correspondence The chief materials of the following memoir lay for many years unknown in the possession of the widow of its subject, and were not examined until some time after her decease. They were then lost sight of for a long period, in consequence of a hasty removal from an alarm of yellow fever, and when recovered they were presented to the Historical Society of New-York, as a fit depositary for documents serving to illustrate our revolutionary annals. As the author is well aware that whatever of value or interest may attach to his work will be due to the correspondence it embraces, he cannot forbear expressing his regret that a number of the most important letters in the original collection are not now to be found. They were selected from the mass, and laid aside for greater security; but, as not unfrequently happens in such cases, they were lost - perhaps, hrough the very means intended for their preservation.
