BOOKS.

THACHER'S MILITARY JOURNAL OF THE

REVOLUTION

THE EXTREMELY RARE FIKST EDITION. There is an obvious discrepancy between the dates on the title-page and the Colophon, which seems to be common to all known copies. It is no doubt an accidental transposition of the letters XL in the Colophon, the correct date being 1549.

THESE FIVE CHAPTERS ARE AMONG THE MOST SPIRITED OF THE WHOLE BOOK.
