Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters to Washington and Accompanying Papers, Vol. 1: 1752-1756 A complete edition of the writings to Washington, given verbatim et literatim from the original letters as received and indorsed by him, supplies not only the sequel to his own writings, but possesses an independent value in exhibiting fully the opinions, designs, and acts of those who were associated with him, and furnishes original facts of history not to be obtained from other sources. The manuscript collection was acquired from George Corbin Washington by purchase under the Acts of Congress approved June 30, 1834, and March 3, 1849, and deposited in the Department of State, Washington, D. C. This, the colonial or ante-revolutionary series, consists almost exclusively of correspondence and papers hitherto unprinted. It begins with the first manuscript in the collection of the "Letters to Washington," and ends with the date of his arrival at Cambridge, July 2, 1775, when he took command of the armies of the United Colonies: that is to say, to the period that has been partially covered by Sparks´s correspondence of the American Revolution. The prosecution of this work has received encouragement from many. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
