Sobre este artículo
London: G. Wilki, 1781. [4],157,[2]pp. Half title. Modern blue wrappers. Internally clean. Very good. Second London edition, with additions, after the very rare New York printing of 1777 (most copies of that edition were destroyed by a New York mob) and the first London edition of 1780. Galloway, former Loyalist "Superintendent" of Philadelphia during the British occupation of 1777-78, herein replies to Gen. Howe's OBSERVATIONS..., preaching to him on how he could have won the war. In spite of its combative tone, the pamphlet does provide important details on the Revolution in 1777-78, the nature of the countryside, etc. Galloway attacks Howe's claim that he was forced to fight in forests by stating that at least two-thirds, and in many places five-sixths, of the terrain in question was cleared farmland. HOWES G47. AMERICAN CONTROVERSY 80-35b. SABIN 26443.
