Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General Sullivan Not a Pensioner of Luzerne (Minister of France at Philadelphia, 1778-1783): With the Report of the New Hampshire Historical Society, Vindicating Him From the Charge Made by George Bancroft In presenting to the public another edition of the vindication of General Sullivan from the charge that he was a pensioner of Luzerne while delegate in 1780 and 1781 to the Continental Congress from New Hampshire, we are glad to present the report of the Historical Society of that State sustaining the position taken by his descendants and kinsmen that the charge was not only not proved, but was alike inconsistent with his whole career, public and private, with what was known of his situation and conduct at the time, and with the evidence offered by his maligner. The committee appointed by the society in June to inquire into the justice of the charge submitted their report, understood to have been drawn up by their chairman, also president of the society. It was subscribed by the other members of the committee, and, duly accepted by their associates, has recently been printed in their publications. The committee consisted of members peculiarly competent to weigh the evidence and come to a just conclusion, from their familiarity with the history of the revolutionary epoch, and especially with what concerned the part taken by their own State and its representatives in affairs within and without its limits. The high estimate placed upon their character and qualifications for the duty imposed cannot be gainsaid, and the conclusions they have reached, after thorough investigation, are entitled to confidence.
