Dawson was afterwards resumed and their personal relations were perfectly friendly until the death of the former.

In 1863 Mr. Dawson also published his work on " The Assault of Stoney Point by General Vnthony Wayne." It was an elegant volume, illustrated by maps and fac-similes. The germ of the work was a paper read April 1, 18(52, before the New York and Pennsylvania Historical Societies. In preparing it he had the use of the correspondence and other family papers of General Wayne himself

In 18()4 Mr. Dawson reprinted the " J\ederalist Correspondence " with John Jay and James A. Hamilton as the first nunil)er of a protracted series entitled, " Current Fictions Tested by Uncurrent Facts." In the following year lie i)ublished " The Diary of David Dow," a soldier of the Revolution, which, like all of Mr. Dawson's j)ul)]ications, was exhaustively annotated, and an edition of Driiig's " Recollections of tlie Jersey Prison-Ship," which was j)ublished originally at Providence, R. I., in 1829, being compiled from Mr. Dring's manuscripts by Albert Gorton Greene, the well-known scholar and poet. The value of the work was greatly enhanced by the addition of an elaborate appendix prepared by Mr. Dawson.

A new edition of" The Park and its Vicinity " has been printed as No. I. of his "Gleanings in the Harvest Field of American History," but has not been jjublished. Several of his works already mentioned had been issued as numbers in this series -- namely, the " Diary of David How " as No. IV. ; " Putnam Correspondence " iis No. V., and " Stoney Point" as No. XI. The series is elegantly printed, in uniform style, royal octavo, and the editions are all limited. Besides these various works Mr. Dawson has written a pai)er on " The Sons of Liberty in New York ;" one on " The Battle of Harlem Heights," and one on "The City of New York on Sunday Morning, Ai)ril 23, 1775," all of them for the New York Historical Society ; one on the " Battle of Bennington " for the Vermont Historical Society ; and one on the " Battle of Long Island " for the Long Island Historical Society, together with several minor tracts, and numerous articles for periodicals with which be has had no editorial connection; and he edited, in ISOl, for the Mercantile Library Association of New York City a volume of original papers, generally of the Revolutionary War, to which he added voluminous notes.
