Of this empire less is known than of other domains. From time to time, fragmentary knowledge has been carried thence by some observant traveler.
The apparent dearth of information was at first almost disheartening. Except the Letters of Mrs. Adams, no fair exponent of the feelings and trials of the women of the Revolution had been given to the public ; for the Letters of Mrs. Wilkinson afford but a limited view of a short period of the war. Of the Southern women, Mrs. Motte was the only one generally? remembered in her own State for the act of magnanimity recorded in history ; and a few fragmentary anecdotes of female heroism, to be found in Garden's collection, and some historical works — completed the amount of published information on the subject. Letters of friendship and affection — those most faithful transcripts of the heart and mind of individuals, have been earnestly sought, and examined wherever they could be obtained.
