Excerpt from The Life of William Alexander, Earl of Stirling; Major-General in the Army of the United States, During the Revolution: With Selections From His Correspondence

The chief materials of the following memoir lay for many years unknown in the possession of the widow of its subject, and were not examined until some time after her decease. They were then lost sight of for a long period, in consequence ofa hasty removal from an alarm of yellow fever, and when recovered they were presented to the Historical Society of new-york, as a fit depositary for documents serving to illustrate our revolutionary annals.
