Product Information

Excerpt from A History of the Destruction of His Britannic Majesty's Schooner Gaspee: In Narragansett Bay, on the 10th June, 1772; Accompanied by the Correspondence Connected Therewith; The Action of the General Assembly of Rhode Island Thereon, and the Official Journal of the Proceedings of the Commission of Inquiry Appointed by King Geor [The proceedings of the General Assembly, relative to the destruction of the British schooner Gaspee, in the waters of Narragansett Bay, on the night of the 9th June, 1772, will be found in the records of the August session of that year. What followed, connected with this important event in the colonial annals of Rhode Island, extends through this, and a part of the following year. In presenting this history to the public, the editor, has brought the whole of the proceedings together, including the events which preceded the destruction of that vessel. This will present a continuous account of the affair, with the accompanying documents, from the time it occurred, to the report of the royal commission of inquiry on the same. The correspondence and most of the documents herewith printed, are preserved in the original, among the archives of the State, and are chronologically arranged and bound in one volume. In 1845 the Hon. William R. Staples caused these documents to be printed in the columns of the Providence Journal, with preliminary observations. He also interspersed the various documents with his own remarks, in order to present a plain and continuous "Documentary History" of the destruction of the Gaspee. This was after wards printed in a pamphlet form; but has long been out of print. To these various documents, the present secretary of state, and editor of the Colonial Records, has been enabled to add several letters and documents of great interest which were not previously among the State archives, and which had never been printed. For several of these, he is indebted to the kindness of his friend, the Hon. George Bancroft, who procured copies of the originals on file in Her Majesty's state paper office, London. The others are from a variety of sources, including that great depository of historical documents. Copies of these several papers, have now been procured, and deposited in their proper places among the "Gaspee documents," referred to. Among the most important of these new documents, are letters from Admiral Montagu to the Earl of Hillsborough; letters from Chief Justice Horsmanden, of New York, one of the royal commissioners of inquiry into the Gaspee affair, to the Earl of Dartmouth, giving an account of the proceedings of the court; and the official report of inquiry to the King, about the burning of the Gaspee.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
