英文名著3000 本 Washington and his Comrades in Arms A Chronicle of the War of Independence by George Wrong 1 英文名著3000 本 PREFATORY NOTE The author is aware of a certain audacity in undertaking, himself a Briton, to appear in a company of American writers on American history and above all to write on the subject of Washington. If excuse is needed it is to be found in the special interest of the career of Washington to a citizen of the British Commonwealth of Nations at the present time and in the urgency with which the editor and publishers declared that such an interpretation would not be unwelcome to Americans and pressed upon the author a task for which he doubted his own qualifications. To the editor he owes thanks for wise criticism. He is also indebted to Mr.Worthington Chauncey Ford, of the Massachusetts Historical Society, a great authority on Washington, who has kindly read the proofs and given helpful comments. Needless to say the author alone is responsible for opinions in the book. 2 英文名著3000 本 University of Toronto,June 16, 1920. 3 英文名著3000 本 CONTENTS I. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF II. BOSTON AND QUEBEC III.
