Excerpt from The Library of American Biography, Vol. 20
The following pages were written at Rome, while I had the honor to hold the post of United States Consul for that city; a circum stance which will sufficiently explain the limited use I have made of inedited documents. The papers of General Greene are still in the possession of his family, and I trust that I shall, at some future day, be enabled to present to the public a more full and complete narrative from these sources. Meanwhile I send forth this little volume as an earnest of what I hope some day or other to accomplish, and as an appeal to the American public for a recognition of their debt of gratitude to him, whose services contributed so largely to the establishment of our national independence.
