Norman in _An Impartial Hist. of the War in America_ (Boston, 1781), vol. ii. p. 210. The best known picture of Warren is a small canvas by Copley, belonging to Dr. John Collins Warren, of Boston, which has been often engraved, and is given in mezzotint by H. W. Smith in Frothingham's _Life of Warren_. The picture in Faneuil Hall is painted after this, and Thomas Illman has engraved that copy. A larger canvas by Copley, painted not long before that artist left Boston for England, is owned by Dr. Buckminster Brown, of Boston, and was engraved for the first time in the _Mem. Hist. of Boston_, iii. 60, where will be found accounts of various contemporary prints and memorials of Warren (pp. 59, 61, 142, 143), including his house at Roxbury, the manuscript of his Massacre Oration, etc. Cf. Frothingham's _Warren_, p. 546; _Hist. Mag._, Dec., 1857; Loring's _Hundred Boston Orators_, p. 67; Mrs. J. B. Brown's _Stories of General Warren_; _Life of Dr. John Warren_; the _Warren Genealogy_; _Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc._, Sept., 1866. The earliest eulogy was that by Perez Morton in 1776 (Loring's _Hundred Boston Orators_, 327; Niles's _Principles and Acts_, 1876, p. 30), and the earliest memoir of any extent was that by A. H. Everett, in Sparks's _Amer. Biography_ (vol. x.). There are reminiscences in the _N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg._, xii. 113, 234, which were based by Gen. William H. Sumner on some letters published by him in 1825 in the _Boston Patriot_, when, as adjutant-general of the State, he arranged for the appearance of the Bunker Hill veterans in the celebration of that year, and derived some reminiscences from them respecting Warren's appearance and action during the fight. All other accounts of Warren, however, have been eclipsed by Frothingham's _Life of Warren_ (Boston, 1865). In the _Boston Medical and Surgical Journal_ (June 17, 1875), Dr. John Jeffries (son of the surgeon of the British army who saw Warren's body on the field) published a paper on his death. Cf. also R. J. Speirr in Potter's _Amer. Monthly_, v. 571; Frothingham's _Warren_, pp. 519, 523; Barry's _Massachusetts_, i. 37, and references.
