Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Observations on Judge Jone´s Loyalist History of the American Revolution: How Far Is It an Authority? The recently published History of the American Revolution, by the contemporary loyalist Judge Thomas Jones, of New York, contains statements which seem to call for criticism and refutation. The propriety of noticing them may possibly be recognized in the fact that the work not only assumes to be an authority and has already been quoted as such, but some of the errors themselves have been repeated and are likely to be perpetuated by American historical writers. The following pages are devoted mainly to a comparison of these statements with the correct record and such inferences as the comparison appears to authorize. Incidentally the question is considered whether the number and nature of the errors are not sufficient to affect the trustworthiness of the Judge´s work, as an original source of information. In any view it is due to our Revolutionary history to examine unfriendly accounts with some care, especially where, as in the present case, they reverse accepted versions of events and transactions or make discreditable disclosures.
