THE SUBSTANCE OF GENERAL BURGOYNE'S SPEECHES, ON MR. VYNER'S MOTION ON THE 26TH OF MAY; AND UPON MR. HARTLEY'S MOTION ON THE 28TH OF MAY, 1778. WITH AN APPENDIX, CONTAINING GENERAL WASHINGTON'S LETTER TO GENERAL BURGOYNE. &C

      Dublin: John Exshaw, 1778.. 42,[6]pp. Modern plain wrappers. Slight foxing and dust soiling. Very good. First Irish edition. Burgoyne's defensive speech, justifying his conduct following his surrender at Saratoga. Washington's reply to Burgoyne's recent praise of him is highly reflective of Washington's character and, while admitting he cannot but be pleased with Burgoyne's "reversal of fortune" on the field, he extends his sympathies as a fellow soldier.
