Diary of the American Revolution from Newspapers and Original Documents (Volume 2)By Frank MoorePrefaceThe materials of these volumes are taken from Whig and Tory newspapers, published during the American Revolution, private diaries, and other cotemporaneous writings.

They present to the student of this day the same view the readers of the revolutionary period enjoyed - the manners and customs of the people, and the moral and religious, as well as political features of the time.

Such a work would prove an interesting and important addition to the literature of America. In conclusion, the editor acknowledges his obligations for the many favors and facilities extended to him by the various Historical Societies of the United States, most especially to the officers of the New York Historical Society, from whom he has received the most valuable assistance.

Roused at length from the lethargy which at first seemed to seize them, the militia poured in to the assistance of General Washington, and gave his little army an Books, History~~General, Diary-of-the-American-Revolution~~Frank-Moore, , , , , , , , , , Nabu Press<
