IV.—GARDEN’S ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION (both series). The author,
Alexander Garden, was Major in Lee’s Legion—and his work is one of the
best on its theme. The first volume was published at Charleston, in
1822; the second in 1824. Each is scarce and valuable, the second
particularly so. I propose revising the text, to eliminate errors, and
to issue my edition in two octavo volumes (6 x 9) with a number of
illustrations, including one or more of the author, and one each of
the brothers Pinckney (not heretofore published), and a number of
landscapes.
The edition will be limited to 200 copies (6 × 9) and 50, large
paper (8 x 11)—the former in cloth, gilt top, with paper label; the
latter in charcoal boards, gilt top, and untrimmed edges. The prices
will be $10.00 and $15.00 respectively.
N. B.—All these works will be printed in large type (Small Pica, same
as this line) on fine paper, well bound and produced in the general
style of my other publications. Address, William Abbatt, 281 Fourth
Ave., N. Y.

Footnote 1:
In all probability that bullet saved Quebec. Had Arnold not been
disabled, his energy and daring would have successfully carried
through the attack on the second barricade.
All his subsequent history shows this.
The attack on Quebec failed from four causes: the extraordinary
inclemency of the weather, the death of Montgomery, the precipitate
retreat by order of Lieut.-Col. Campbell, who was next in rank, and
the disabling of Arnold.
The first was contributory only, and the second would not have been
conclusive but for Campbell—an officer of whose subsequent career
absolutely nothing appears of record.
