George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3D, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 1 George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3D, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 1 To THE INHABITANTS OF THE ISLAND OF BERMUDA Camp at Cambridge 3 Miles from Boston, September 6, 1775. Gentn: [In the great Conflict, which agitates this Continent, I cannot doubt but the Assertors of Freedom and the Rights of the Constitution, are possessed of your most favorable Regards and Wishes for Success. As Descendents of Freemen and Heirs with us of the same Glorious Inheritance, we flatter ourselves that tho' divided by our Situation, we are firmly united in Sentiment; the Cause of Virtue and Liberty is Confined to no Continent or Climate, it comprehends within its capacious Limits, the Wise and good, however dispersed and seperated in Space or distance.] You need not be informed, that Violence and Rapacity of a tyrannick Ministry, have forced the Citizens of America, your Brother Colonists, into Arms; We equally detest and lament the Prevalence of those Councils, which have led to the Effusion of so much human Blood and left us no Alternative but a Civil War or a base Submission. The wise disposer of all Events has hitherto smiled upon our virtuous Efforts; Those Mercenary Troops, a few of whom lately boasted of Subjugating this vast Continent, have been check'd in their earliest Ravages and are now actually encircled in a small Space; their Arms disgraced, and Suffering all the Calamities of a Siege. The Virtue, Spirit, and Union of the Provinces leave them nothing to fear, but the Want of Amunition, The applications of our Enemies to foreign States and their Vigilance upon our Coasts, are the only Efforts they have made against us with Success. Under those Circumstances, and with these Sentiments we have turned our Eyes to you Gentlemen for Relief, We are informed there is a very large Magazine in your Island under a very feeble Guard; We would not wish to involve you in an Opposition, in which from your Situation, we should be unable to support you:—We knew not therefore to what Extent to sollicit your Assistance in availing ourselves of this Supply;—but if your Favor and Friendship to North America and its Liberties have not been misrepresented, I persuade myself you may, consistent with your own Safety, pro mote and further this Scheme, so as to give it the fairest prospect of Success. Be assured, that in this Case, the whole Power and Execution of my Influence will be made with the Honble. Continental Congress, that your Island may not only be Supplied with Provisions, but experience every other Mark of Affection and Friendship, which the grateful Citizens 43 of a free Country can bestow on its Brethren and Benefactors. I am &c. 43. There is no draft of this address to the Bermuda inhabitants in the Washington Papers. The copy of it there was made by George Taylor, jr., one of Varick's writers, in 1781. (See Washington's letter George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3D, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 1 http://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw3d.001 to Gov. Nicholas Cooke, August 4, 1775, ante.) Capt. Abraham Whipple, of Rhode Island, sailed for Bermuda. He arrived too late, as Gage had already removed the powder. To THE INHABITANTS OF CANADA Friends and Brethren: The unnatural Contest between the English Colonies, and Great Britain has now risen to such a Height, that Arms alone must decide it. The Colonies, confiding in the Justice of their Cause and the purity of their intentions, have reluctantly appealed to that Being, in whose hands are all Human Events: He has hitherto smiled upon their virtuous Efforts: The Hand of Tyranny has been arrested in its Ravages, and the British Arms, which have shone with so much Splendor in every part of the Globe, are now tarnished with disgrace and disappointment. Generals of approved experience, who boasted of subduing this great Continent, find themselves circumscribed within the limits of a single City and its Suburbs, suffering all the shame and distress of a Siege. While the Freeborn Sons of America, animated by the genuine principles of Liberty and Love of their Country, with increasing Union, Firmness and discipline, repel every attack and despise every Danger. Above all we rejoice that our Enemies have been deceived with Regard to you: They have persuaded themselves, they have even dared to say, that the Canadians were not capable of distinguishing between the Blessings of Liberty and the Wretchedness of Slavery; that gratifying the Vanity of a little Circle of Nobility would blind the Eyes of the people of Canada. By such Artifices they hoped to bend you to their Views; but they have been deceived: Instead of finding in you that poverty of Soul, and baseness of Spirit, they see with a Chagrin equal to our Joy, that you are enlightened, generous, and Virtuous; that you will not renounce your own Rights, or serve as Instruments to deprive your Fellow subjects of theirs. Come then, my Brethern, Unite with us in an indissoluble Union. Let us run together to the same Goal. We have taken up Arms in Defence of our Liberty, our Property; our Wives and our Children: We are determined to preserve them or die. We look forward with pleasure to that day not far remote (we hope) when the Inhabitants of America shall have one Sentiment and the full Enjoyment of the blessings of a Free Government. Incited by these Motives and encouraged by the advice of many Friends of Liberty among you, the Great American Congress have sent an Army into your Province, under the command of General Schuyler; not to plunder but to protect you; to animate and bring forth into Action those sentiments of Freedom you have declared, and which the Tools of dispositism would extinguish through the George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3D, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 1 http://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw3d.001 whole Creation. To co-operate with this design and to frustrate those cruel and perfidious Schemes, which would deluge our Frontier with the Blood of Women and Children, I have detached Colonel Arnold into your Country, with a part of the Army under my Command. I have enjoined upon him, and I am certain that he will consider himself, and act as in the Country of his Patrons and best Friends. Necessaries and Accommodations of every kind which you may furnish, he will thankfully receive, and render the full Value. I invite you therefore as Friends and Brethren, to provide him with such supplies as your Country affords; and I pledge myself not only for your safety and security, but for ample Compensation. Let no Man desert his habitation. Let no Man flee as before an Enemy. The cause of America and of liberty is the cause of every virtuous American Citizen Whatever may be his Religion or his descent, the United Colonies know no distinction, but such as Slavery, Corruption and Arbitrary Domination may create. Come then ye generous Citizens, range yourselves under the Standard of general Liberty, against which all the force and Artifice of Tyranny will never be able to 45 prevail. I am, etc. To BARON DE CALBIAC New York, July 23, 1776. Sir: I received your favour of Yesterday, and in answer thereto, I am to inform you, at the same time 94 that I commend the good Intentions which you profess induced your Countrymen to leave their Families and Homes, that I have done the only thing in my power to favour their views. On their first arrival and introduction to me, I gave 45. An interesting record of this address exists in the Washington Papers in broadside form, with French and English in parallel columns. It is apparently a printer's proof, and the French is corrected in the writing of Maj. Gen. Charles Lee. The date of its composition justifies its position in the Varick Transcripts at this point (September 7), but apparently the printed copies were not ready before Arnold left Cambridge, as he acknowledges their receipt at Fort Wesson September 25. Schuyler had before this drawn up and sent into Canada a declaration to the inhabitants. A copy of it, dated Sept. 5, 1775, is in the Washington Papers. 94. Baron de Calbiac came from Guadeloupe. George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3D, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 1 http://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw3d.001 them a letter to the Continental Congress, to whom it was necessary to make known their wishes and from whom any Appointments they expect, must come. This, I am persuaded, you are sensible of, and would wish you to communicate to them. Their pretensions will be duly considered, and if supported by proper Credentials, I make no doubt but suitable Regard will be had to their Merits. Your and their good Sense will readily suggest the Propriety and Expediency of their furnishing some testimonial and recommendation previous to any appointment: These would have been proper 95 at any time, but the late instance of treachery and ingratitude in Monsieur in deserting and taking the Command of a party of the Enemy in Canada, after he had been promoted to Office in the service of the United Colonies, makes them indispensably necessary. Though I do not entertain the least suspicion of the Honour and Integrity of the Gentlemen of whom you write, or mean to insinuate that a conduct like Monsieur would frequently happen. I might further add, that the unacquaintance of our Soldiers with any Language but their own, makes them rather unwilling and impatient under the Command of Foreigners, unless they axe Men of high reputation.

  • The French Revolution
    The French Revolution ‘This is more than a history of the French Revolution. It covers all Europe during the revolutionary period, though events in France naturally take first place. It is particularly good on the social and intellectual back- ground. Surprisingly enough, considering that Lefebvre was primarily an economic historian, it also breaks new ground in its account of international relations, and sets the wars of intervention in their true light. The French have a taste for what they call works of synthesis, great general summaries of received knowledge. We might call them textbooks, though of the highest level. At any rate, in its class, whether synthesis or textbook, this is one of the best ever produced.’ A. J. P.

    mP( UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH JJarlington jVl.einorial J_<ibrary THE HESSIANS AND THE OTHER GERMAN AUXILIARIES OF GREAT BRITAIN IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR EDWARD J. LOWELL WITH MAPS AND PLANS -> ,0, 3 J NEW YORK HARPER & BROTHERS, FRANKLIN SQUARE 1884 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1884, by HARPER & BROTHERS, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. All rights reserved. PREFACE. The history of the German auxiliaries, who fought for Great Britain in the Revolutionary War, has not received from American writers the amount of atten- tion which its importance would seem to deserve. Much has been made of the fact that seven thousand French soldiers and nineteen thousand French sea- men assisted the United States in the siege of York- town, but we have forgotten that a force of between fifteen and twenty thousand Germans served for seven years against us ; that more than twenty-nine thou- sand were brought to America for this purpose ; that more than twelve thousand never returned to Ger- many. I know of no American historian but Ban- croft, who has made any thorough study of this sub- ject in the original authorities, and the general nature of his work does not call on him, and, indeed, would hardly permit him, to write the history of the Ger- man troops in detail. Doctor George Washington Greene has published interesting reviews of three of Kapp's books, and the narrative of Baroness Riedesel has been translated into English by William L. Stone, ; viii PREFACE. to quote opinions or descriptions which, though genuine, were mistaken.
