Burnaby's travels through North America; reprinted from the third edition of 1798, with introduction and notes by Rufus Rockwell Wilson. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.28434 Library of Congress THE author of the volume to which this serves as introduction was born in 1734 at Asfordby, in Leicestershire, the eldest son and namesake of the Reverend Andrew Burnaby, a well-to-do clergyman of the Church of England, who served successively as vicar of St. Margaret's, Leicester, rector of Asfordby and prebendary of Lincoln. The younger Burnaby was admitted into Westminster School in 1748, and proceeded thence to Queen's College, Cambridge, where he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1754, and three years later, that of Master of Arts. In 1759 and 1760, he travelled through the American colonies, and from 1762 to 1767, having in the meantime taken orders, he was chaplain to the British factory at Leghorn. During his sojourn in Italy he explored all parts of that country and travelled in Corsica, of which, in 1804, he published an account. In 1769, soon after his return to England, he was nominated to the vicarage of Greenwich, and in 1786 he was presented 8 to the archdeaconry of Leicester. He succeeded to large estates in Huntingdonshire on his father's death in 1767, but Baggrave Hall, Leicestershire, the inheritance of his wife Anna, daughter of John Edwyn, whom he married in 1770, was his favorite place of residence. He died at Blackheath, on March 9, 1812, and within a fortnight his wife followed him to the grave. One of his descendants in the fourth generation was Frederick Burnaby, the soldier and traveller, who was killed in 1885 at the battle of Abu Klea in the Soudan. Burnaby tells in his introduction how the record of his travels through the American colonies found its way into print. First published in 1775, it reached a second edition within a year and was speedily translated into French and German. The original was reissued in much enlarged form in 1798, and from that edition the present reprint is made. Burnaby's book well deserves a new lease of life, for he was an acute though kindly observer, and his visit to the colonies fell in an interesting and critical time: the Seven Years' War which wrought the downfall of the French power in America was just drawing to a close, and in the political sky was heard the low, insistent rumblings of the storm which was to break at Concord and Bunker Hill. Burnaby's travels through North America; reprinted from the third edition of 1798, with introduction and notes by Rufus Rockwell Wilson. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.28434 Library of Congress It should be remembered that the author's point of view was that of a devoted minister of the Church of England and loyal supporter of the crown. Thus 9 his religious and political inclinings color his impressions of country and people. There is evidence on every page, however, that he was moved by a sincere purpose to be truthful and just, and he helps not a little to a fuller and more accurate knowledge of a confused and troubled period in our history. The editor has conformed the author's spelling of proper names to present usages, and has added such notes as seemed necessary to make certain of his allusions clear to the average reader. R. R. W. TRAVELS THROUGH THE MIDDLE SETTLEMENTS IN NORTH AMERICA , IN THE YEARS 1759 AND 1760; WITH OBSERVATIONS UPON THE STATE OF THE COLONIES By the Rev. ANDREW BURNABY, D.D. ARCHDEACON OF LEICESTER AND VICAR OF GREENWICH. EDITION THE THIRD; REVISED, CORRECTED, AND GREATLY ENLARGED, BY THE AUTHOR. LONDON PRINTED FOR T. PAYNE, AT THE MEWS-GATE. 1798 [ Facsimile Title Page, Third Edition. ] TO SIR JOHN DICK, Bart. & c. & c. & c. Burnaby's travels through North America; reprinted from the third edition of 1798, with introduction and notes by Rufus Rockwell Wilson. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.28434 Library of Congress THIS THIRD EDITION OF TRAVELS THROUGH THE MIDDLE SETTLEMENTS IN NORTH AMERICA, IS, IN TESTIMONY OF THE SINCEREST AFFECTION AND GRATITUDE, MOST RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED, BY HIS EVER FAITHFUL AND OBLIGED HUMBLE SERVANT, ANDREW BURNABY. Greenwich, August 27, 1798. 15 PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. THE two former Editions of these Travels were published, one immediately after the other, at a moment, when events of the greatest magnitude, and importance to this country, were depending; and when the minds of men were extremely agitated and alarmed for the fate of the British Empire. A rupture between Great Britain and her American Colonies was seriously apprehended: and as men foresaw, or at least fancied they foresaw, very calamitous consequences arising from so disastrous an event, it was generally wished that the evil might, if possible, be prevented; and a reconciliation happily effected, before matters were carried to extremity. The Author, flattered by his friends, and perhaps a little also by vanity, presumed to hope, that the publication of his tour through the Middle Settlements in North America might, in some degree, conduce to this desirable end: and as the measures 16 to be adopted by Government were at that time under the deliberation of Parliament, it was thought expedient to submit it to the Public, before any resolutions were formed that might eventually be decisive of the fate of the British Empire. There was not time, therefore, to publish the Work in so full and correct a manner, as the materials in the Author's possession would otherwise have enabled him to do. He confined himself to general, and what he judged leading, circumstances; and postponed the insertion of others to more favourable and tranquil times. The two former Editions, however, being now entirely out of print, he deems it expedient to publish a third Edition, revised, corrected, and greatly enlarged by the insertion of new matter; particularly by several statistical tables referring to the Commerce of America; and some authentic Memoirs of Thomas late Lord Burnaby's travels through North America; reprinted from the third edition of 1798, with introduction and notes by Rufus Rockwell Wilson. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.28434 Library of Congress Fairfax, and of the several branches of that noble house now domiciliated in Virginia, both of which have been derived from the best and most unquestionable authority.— The Work for these reasons, and from its being almost the only account of the Middle Settlements, during the period of their happiest and most flourishing state, may possibly, notwithstanding the separation that has since taken place, be still interesting, at least to individuals: and the Author offers the present Edition to the Public, with the same assurance as he did the former ones; viz. that he believes the contents 17 to be strictly and literally true. If, however, some slight errors may accidentally and undesignedly have been committed, and any one will have the goodness to point them out, the Author will think himself highly obliged by the information, and will avail himself of the first opportunity to acknowledge and correct them. The astonishing events that have taken place since the publication of the two former Editions, will probably expose the Author's opinion concerning the termination and final issue of the American contest to animadversion: but in vindication of himself, he must be permitted to observe,— That it was not within the sphere of calculation to suppose, 1st.
