"The contents of this volume, comprising the Journal of Lieutenant John Charles Philip von Krafft, 1776-1784, and the Letter-book of Captain Alexander McDonald, 1775-1779, will be highly estimated by the student of American history, whose researches are directed to the period of the American Revolution. Both of these interesting contributions furnish new and important details of that struggle, and possess the charm, which personal interest and participation in events confer upon their narration." - Introduction.
