The History of the Rise, Progress, and Establishment of the Independence of the United States of America, Volume 3Samuel Campbell, no. 124, Pearl-street, 1801 "The following work is not confined to the contest between Great Britain and the United States of America, but includes all the other parts of the war which originated from that contest. ...
