Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 It is an obvious comment upon the present work, that a story of the American Revolution which stops with the sur render oi Cornwallis and the consequent fall of Lord North's ministry is incomplete. One might reply, in general, that any historical narrative must needs be incomplete wherever it may happen to stop; but on the present occasion a more suitable answer is that the story is continued in my book entitled The Critical Period of American History, the first chapter of which deals with the Results of Yorktown. The text of this edition has been thoroughly revised, and in many places new matter has been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Washington and the Generals of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 The American Revolution was one of the grandest events in history; and for its influence upon the condition of men, and the destinies of nations, it must long remain among the most interesting subjects of study. But readers have hitherto been without any work of authority through which they might be made acquainted with its actors. Scattered biographies of many of the leading soldiers of the time have indeed appeared, but no one production that could serve as a companion to our military annals, properly introducing the dramatis person . In these volumes an attempt has been made to supply this want. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 1 The author of this volume is aware that an expectation exists, among those who have read "The Early History of Charles James Fox," that he would carry on the account of that statesman's life from the point at which he dropped it eighteen years ago. When the consideration of the project was seriously approached, it became evident that the difficulties of writing a political biography, as distinguished from a political history, were in this case insuperable. The story of Fox, between 1774 and 1782, is inextricably interwoven with the story of the American Revolution. That immense event filled his mind, and consumed his activities; while every circumstance about him worth relating may find a natural place in the course of the narrative which bears upon it. During that part of the great drama which was enacted within the walls of Parliament, Fox was never off the stage; and, when there, he played a conspicuous, and (as time went on) confessedly the leading, part.

Excerpt from A History of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprehending All the Principal Events Both in the Field and in the Cabinet United States, and the constitutions of the several States, have only given to those chartered rights a new name. The People now speak in their collective majes ty, where a Monarch, in his individual majesty, former ly spoke; and the lips of both utter precisely the same sentiments - se false was the opinion prevalent in the day of our revolution, that our ancestors were rebels. In the prosecution of the present work, it is deem ed proper to state, that the facts have been drawn from what is honestly believed to be the most nuques tionable sources from a painful and accurate examina tion and comparison of the various histories of that important event; from the correspondence of those who were the immediate parties in a struggle rso glorious to our cguntry; from official documents, from the ar chives of our Continental Congress, and those of the different Legislatures and from the orderly books, that may properly be denominated the journals of the army. Much, perhaps, remains to be'known, that may yet be preserved to posterity, if the private cor respondence of those who were the immediate actors in this important drama, has yet survived the dilapi dations of time and of accident but much is irrevoca bly covered by the ashes of the grave.

Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 2 The news of Lexington took Six weeks to reach Eng land, and came by an unusual channel. Massachusetts was eager to have the first word, but careful that that word should be an accurate one. A committee ap pointed by her Provincial Congress held Sittings in the district which had been the scene of hostilities, and took a large mass of evidence on oath. An account of the battle, addressed to the Inhabitants of Great Britain, was drawn up by another committee, over which Joseph Warren himself presided. The narrative was studiously moderate. The successes of the minute-men, and the disasters of the British, were related briefly, and in terms below the truth; as if the writers could not dwell with satisfaction on the details of a conflict between fellow countrymen. Americans, (so it was stated, ) had no quarrel with their sovereign, whose person, family, and crown they, were as willing to defend as ever. But they would face death rather than tamely submit to the persecutions Of a cruel ministry, and looked forward with assured hope to the time when, in a constitutional connection with the mother-country, Englishmen on both Sides of the Atlantic would live, always and all together, as one free, united, and happy people.
