8vo, 24cm, in 2 volumes, vii,[1],311 & [-314]-736pp., frontis portrait, with 9 maps (7 folding), on laid paper, index, original maroon cloth, gilt spine titles, t.e.g., some slight wear on the edges, some pages unopened, two pages have a short tear on the top margin otherwise a very good sound set, rare. (mt) Volume 1: includes, Boston, 1775; Long Island, 1776; Long Island, 1777; Newport, Rhode Island, 1778. Volume 2: R. Island, 1778; New York, 1781; New York, 1781; New York, 1781. Part of this diary, describing the events at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, was published a few years ago under the title "A British Fusilier in Revolutionary Boston." The present volume includes that section as well as all the remainder of the remarkable diary kept between 1775 and 1781 by Frederick Mackenzie; it is printed without editing. The diarist's entries include details of what happened in and round Rhode Island in the years 1776 and 1778, a detailed description of the events in New York during the twelve months from January to December, 1781, and reports received at headquarters during that time regarding the doings of the fleet and the campaign farther south that culminated in the surrender of Cornwallis. Mackenzie records his facts in a notably impersonal way; his cool-headedness, his judiciousness, his competence as a soldier, his keenness as an observer, and his dry exactness of style inspire the reader with the greatest confidence and make his one of the best British diaries of the Revolutionary period.
