George Cnnton's Public Papers.

Al the time uf it, appearance. we directed
attention TO the rrst volume VI the Ptbir
Papers Of GeOrge Clinton. First Governor ~
Nsv York, collected and edited by HUGH HAST
mos. the state Historian. The second vol
ume Is now before us. II carries the story OF
the Revolutionary War. so far a. that story
relates 20 the State ~ New York. from June.
I'LL, TO March. l77s. In other words. the cor
respondent deals with the momentous period
which witnessed the Burgoyne campaign.
the encampment Of the Continental Army OF
Valley Forge and the determination Of France
TO enter into an alliance with the revolted
colonies. This volume OF nearly nine hundred
pages contains many letters and documents
not to be found in the manuscript collection
owned by the State. These have been secured
from the State Departments OF other Common
wealths, or from the Federal archives at Wash
ington. The English and French Official corre-
spondence OF the time has also furnished sup
Elementary material. We might eNemplify the
value OF these papers by noting what light
they throw upon the battle OF Oriskany. upon
Burgoyne's defeat and upon the ~intrigues
started In the Continental Congress for the plr-
pose OF. superSeding Washington by Gates.
Innumerable, however, are the data which are
here set forth on frst-liand authority. and
which will not be NEGLECTED by any future
historian Of our Revolutionary struggle.
The battle of Oriskauy. where Gen. Herkimer
was mortally wounded, was fought on Aug o,
III. On that very day. the following report
OF the affair was sent from "Canajoharra" by
Capt. Deygert to Gen. Schuyler, We reproduce
