TO
COLONEL JOHN TRUMBULL,
OF THE ARMY OF THE REVOLUTION.

To one of his most esteemed friends, than whom, he is
alike proud and thankful to say, he has found none more
valuable, or more true—as a slight, but not, he trusts,
impertinent token of his sincere veneration and most
warm gratitude—this book is dedicated by the author;
with a deep sense, that, should it elsewhere meet so favourable
a reception as it is like to do from him to whom
it is now tendered, it will scarcely be indebted less to the
indulgence of the public, than he is himself to the friendship
of the individual.

New-York, June 10, 1835.
