PLACEMENTS OF REyoLUrIoNAEY HISTORY
By Gaillard Hunt. Brooklyn, y. y; HIS
toTical Printing Club, 1892.
There have not been wanting those 20
critcise or condemn the formation OF the
Sons Of the Revolution or the Sons OK the
American Revolution. To those who sup
uoso that these societies were formed Tor
the purpose of creating all American arls-
tocracv or exploiting 90 tho world their de-
ncent from Revolutionary patriots. these go
cisties have been either the subject OF Jest
or tho object of dislike, If not contempt.
The work. vho-e title we have gwen
above. removes the District Of Columbia
CHAPTER OF the sons of the Revolution from
the category ot useless or un-American
societies. And IL other chapters will follow
its example the raison detre Of these So
cietios will DO apparent TO tho most pre-
iudioed or hostile critic. The work Is COLI
lection of hitherto unpublished writings Of
the men of the American Revolution. col
lectod and edited under the authority OF the
aboye-named society by tts registrar aud
historian, Dir. Gaillard Hunt. Most Of the
manuscripts were contributed rom the
private collections # the members OF the
chapter The letters. especially To virgin
ians. surpass in interest aud Importance any
OF the recent collections OF hevoiutionary
documents. They relate mainly to the con-
duct of the war in the Southern depart
meut. Those Of chief interest are the let
tiers OF General Daniel Morgan. the nara.
tive Of Colonel John Francis Mercer aud
the important Lafayette-Monroel letters, as
showing the men and treasure that virginia
contributed to the war for Independence,
as we'll as giving succircty tho reason OF her
invasion by the British forces.
We quote the following extract from COL
onsl John Francis Mercer page 81: AT
this time the important supplies which Viz
ginia still continued 10 furnish the armies OF
the North and South had attracted the ser
ious attention Of the enemy, and II was con-
oeiyed that she was peculiarly vulnerable al
home"
10 what extent this patriotic resistance
had been carried is shown by the letter OF
Governor benjamin Harrison 10 General
Morgan (page u: Il ain really sorry 1t II
not in my power TO comply with your Just
demand against the country; If 1t WAS. you
may rest assured the money should DO paid
but there il not forty shillings IN the treas
