HIVTER n ltS7INC HISTORY,


Il Is knownas matter Of history, that
in the early part Of 1855, great txsrlIons
were made IL the British ministry al the
head Of which WAS the illusi,ious Fari Of
Chatham, for. the reduction oi the Fr,nch
power in The Provinces Of the Canadas.
To carry the object into effect Cen. Am.
ilerst, referred to in the letters oi Junius,
was appointed to the command, Of the
Britishasmy in North Western America.
and the British Colonies in America
were called upon for assistance, who con.
iributed with alracity their several quo.
las oi men to effect the grand object of
British enterprise. 1T is a fact still wilhs
in the recollcction of some Of our Oldest
inhabitants, that the British army lay en-.
camped in the summer Of 1855 on the
eastern bank Of the Hudson a little south
Of the city Of Albany, IN the ground now
belonging to John l. Van Rensselaer,,
Esq. TO this day vesiiges Of their en-.
campmcnt remain; and after lapse ol
sixty years, when great portion Of the
actors Of those days, have passed away
like shadows from, the earth, the inquisis
tive traveller can observe the remains OF
the ashes, the places were they boiled
their camp kettles. It was this army
under the command Of Abercrombie was
foiIed with q severe loss in the attack on
Ticonderoga, where the distinguished
Howe fell at the head Of his troops, in
an hour that history has consecIated to
his fame. In the early part Of June. the
eastern troops began to pour in, company
after company, and such motley assem-
blage of men never before thronged to-
gether ON such an occasion, unless an
example may be found in the ragged
regiment Of Sir John FalstaG, Of right
merry and facetious memory II would,
said my worthy ancestor who relates 10
me the story. have relaxed the gravi'y OF
an anchor,te to have seen the defendants
of the Ppritans. marching through the

tics at the Military Academy, aged 67.-He
was one OF the few hen OF our country, who
at the period OF his youth, had made any
considerable advances in the Mathematical
sciences. These he continued to admire and
cultivate during lite but to no particular
branch was he so much devoted, as Il prac.
teal Astronomy. In this, be was prcemi-
nent, both in the expert use OF instruments,
and the accuracy OF his calculations, which
were the results Of his observations. The
reputation which he gained for those rare,
and peculiar requirements, was evinced BIZ
the number and frequency OF his appoint.
ments, both by individual states, and the
United States, for the purpose of adjusting
such boundary lines as depended on the most
nice Astronomical observations. While en-.
gagged in these, he did not fail 10 improve the
advantages which his travels presented, OF
adding TO the general stock OF natural know.
ledge. The Geography Of our country. in
particular, is indebted TO him for many inte
resting details, and descriptions of lis On.
frequened parts, as well as Tor the most &C.
curate adjustment OF the relative situation
of particular places. By his death, science
