During 1775 there were two English accounts, aiming at something like historical perspective. One of these was, very likely, by Edmund Burke, and was in the _Annual Register_ (p. 133, etc.). The other was _An Impartial and Authentic Narrative of the Battle fought on the 17th of June, 1775, between his Britannic Majesty's Troops and the American Provincial Army on Bunker's Hill near Charles Town in New England_. The author was John Clark, a first lieutenant of marines. He gives a speech of Howe to his men, representing that it was delivered just as he advanced to the attack, but this and much else in the book are considered of doubtful authenticity.[573] In 1780 there appeared in the _London Chronicle_ some letters by Israel Mauduit, which were republished the same year as _Three letters to Lord Viscount Howe: added, Remarks on the battle of Bunker's Hill_ (London, 1780), which in a second edition (1781) reads additionally in the title, _To which is added a comparative view of the Conduct of Lord Cornwallis and General Howe_. There was among the Chalmers' MSS. (Thorpe's _Supplemental Catal._, 1843, no. 660) a writing entitled _Some particulars of the battle of Bunker's Hill, the situation of the ground_, etc. (8 pp., 1784), which Chalmers calls a "most curious paper in the handwriting of Israel Mauduit, found among his pamphlets, Jan. 23, 1789." In 1784 William Carter's _Genuine Detail of the Royal and American Armies_ appeared in London. Carter was a lieutenant in the Fortieth Foot, and his book was seemingly reissued in 1785, with a new title-page. (Brinley, no. 1,789; Stevens, _Bibl. Amer._, 1885, nos. 80, 81; Harvard Coll. lib., 6351.16.)
