FIRST AND LIMITED EDITION OF THIS ACCOUNT OF THE BRITISH ARMY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR. A very handsome production printed from the original manuscript of Major André's journal, which was not discovered until 1902. The journal is a very interesting and tactical account of the movements and engagements of the British Army from June 1777 to November 1778. André was eventually hanged as a spy by the Continental Army for assisting Benedict Arnold's attempted surrender of the fort at West Point. André's body was returned to England and interred at Westminster Abbey. The journal would remain undiscovered in England until 1902 and this handsome edition is the first printing of it.
