ASHINGTON-CRAWFORD LETTERS (THE). Being the Correspondence between George Washington and William Crawford, from 1767 to 1781, concerning Western Lands. With an Appendix, containing Later Letters of Washington on the same Subject, and Letters from Valentine Crawford to Washington, written in 1774 and 1775. Chronologically arranged and carefully annotated by C. W. Butterfield, author of "Crawford's Campaigns," etc. Svo. pp. xi-107. Cloth. $1 50

"This correspondence throws a good deal of light upon early Western history, besides adding something to our knowledge of Washington's early life and plans. The letters are given in their chronological order, with carefully written notes; and the editor rightly regards his work as a contribution of some value to the country's store of historical materials."— New York Evening Post.

"They are all interesting and historically important, as throwing light on Washington's early history, and on the history of the time, particularly as showing the craving which existed among the prominent men of Virginia and Pennsylvania, at that period, to become large landed proprietors. The letters throw some light incidentally on points of history, beyond the subject on which they were specially written. The notes by the editor add to the value of this book, which is worthy of a place in all historical libraries."-Literary World.

"The letters are those of frontier friends. Washington makes numerous inquiries, showing that cautious yet enterprising spirit so characteristic of him; while Crawford both answers his questions, and furnishes occasional descriptions of the hardships of pioneer life. A good deal of business is discussed, and every now and then we have glimpses of the rough ways of the borderers; of the conflict between the royal prerogative and the rights of the settlers, who, having endured great privations, thought their own exertions the best title possible to the land they occupied. Mr. Butterfield's notes are abundant and full of valuable explanations."-Cincinnati Gazette.
