Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Hugh Earl Percy From Boston and New York, 1774-1776 1 878, and printed October 14th, in which he said Percy's letters, and many other family documents, have been generously placed at my disposal by His Grace the Duke of Northumberland. I have made numerous extracts, touching upon events 'of 177 5, which I may give to friends at home, in some form, after my return. His sudden death in February 1900, occurred before they had been given to the public 1n any printed form, and before he had ex pressed any wish concerning their publication. His sister, Miss Ellen Carruth, very kindly allowed me to make this use of her brother's copies after I had submitted them to the present Duke, at whose re quest certam references to family matters have been omitted. To Mr. Lindsay Swift and to other friends I am indebted for helpful suggestions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
