Excerpt from South-Carolina in the Revolutionary War: Being a Reply to Certain Misrepresentations and Mistakes of Recent Writers in Relation to the Course and Conduct of This State
Our rubrick is a long one, but it should not be suffered to alarm the reader with any apprehensions that the Revolutionary war is to be discussed anew; or that we are even to examine, at length, that subject which gives its title to the work first designated in the catalogue below. The Revolutionary History of the United States is no longer a fit theme for generalities; and the business of the reviewer, in present times, who proposes to consider it at all, must be confined wholly to selections from its numerous details. The career and character of the American Loyalists, it is true, furnish one of the legitimate provinces of this fruitful history; but even this is scarcely our object, except as incidentally bearing upon another topic, which, fortunately, belongs to a single locality.
