  "This correspondence throws a good deal of light upon early Western
history, besides adding something to our knowledge of Washington's
early life and plans. The letters are riven in their chronological order,
with carefully - s-itten note; and the editor rightly regards his work as a
contribution of some value to the country's store of historical materials."-
New 2ortk Eening Post.

  "They are all interesting and historically important, as throwing light
on Waashington's early history, and on the history of the time, particularly
as showving. the craving sshicl, existed among the prominent men of Vir-
ginia and Pennosylsania, at that period, to become large landed proprietors.
The letters throsv some light incidentally on points of history, beyond the
subject on which they were speciadly written. The notes hb the editor add
to the value of this book, which is worthy of a place in all historical libra-
ries."-Literary JWorid.

  "The letters are those of frontier friends. Washington makes numer-
ous inquiries, showing., that cautious set enterprising spirit so characteris-
tic of him; while Crawford both answers his questions, and 1urnishes oc-
casional descriptions of the hardships of pioneer life. A good deal of
business is discussed, and every now and then we have glimpses of the
rough wass of the borderers; of the conflict between the royal prerogative
and the rights of the settlers, who, having endured great privations,
thought their own exertions the best title possible to the land they occu-
pied. Mr. Butterfield's notes are abundant and full of valuable explana-
tions."-Ciacinnaai Gazette.
