r. FLICK,
_Loyalism in New York_ (Columbia University Studies, xiv.). The best
purely military history of the war is by STEDMAN, _History of the
American War_, 2 vols., 4to, 1794; he served under Howe, Clinton, and
Cornwallis, and his book is a standard authority. TARLETON, _Campaigns
of 1780, 1781 in the Southern Provinces, 1787._ Other books consulted
are _Washington's Writings and Life,_ by SPARKS, 12 vols., Boston,
1833-39; FRANKLIN, _Works_, edit. Bigelow, 10 vols., N.Y., 1887-88;
TUDOR, _Life of Otis_, Boston, 1823; _Diary and Letters of Thomas
Hutchinson_, edited by P. Hutchinson, 2 vols., 1883, 1886; FROTHINGHAM,
_Siege of Boston,_ 1849, a careful piece of work, though written in a
remarkably vainglorious tone; Mr. CODMAN, _Arnold's Expedition to
Quebec_, New York, 1902, an excellent and interesting monograph;
KINGSFORD, _History of Canada_, vol. v., 1892, also deals with the
expedition. JOHNSTON, _Campaign of_ 1776 (Long Island Hist. Soc.), 1878,
a good narrative well furnished with documentary proofs, and by the
same, _The Yorktown Campaign_, New York, 1881. Judge JONES, _History of
New York during the War_, 2 vols., New York, 1879-80, edited by Mr. De
Lancy, a book of special interest, for Jones was a loyalist; it is
written with vigour, and censures the misdeeds on both sides alike. For
Burgoyne's expedition--Sir J. BURGOYNE, _State of the Expedition from
Canada_, 1779, with his defence before the house of commons; FONBLANQUE,
_Episodes from the Life of Burgoyne_, 1876, and Lieut. HADDEN, _Journal
and Orderly-books_, 1886. For Howe's conduct of the war--_Examination of
Joseph Galloway before the House of Commons_, 1779; [Galloway,] _Letters
to a Nobleman_, 1779, Galloway, a Philadelphian lawyer of large
property, joined the British in 1776; Sir W. HOWE, _Narrative_ before a
committee of the house of commons, April 29, 1779, with _Observations on
Letters to a Nobleman_, 1780; _Detail and Conduct of the War_, including
the celebrated _Fugitive Pieces_, 1780. Mr. M'CRADY in his _History of
South Carolina_: i. _Under Royal Government_, New York, 1899, an able
book, shows how the desire for independence gained ground in the
provinces; vols. ii. and iii. _In the Revolution_, 1902, contain a
careful but tedious narrative, which seems to err in exalting the
partisan commanders, Marion and Sumter, at the expense of Greene. _The
Clinton-Cornwallis Controversy_, 2 vols., 1888, edited with minute care
by the late Mr. B.
