Thus, Mercy Warren (History of American Revolution;) "Paul Allen" (History of American Revolution;) Thaoher (Military Journal;) Morse (Annals of the American Revolution;) Pitkin (History of the United Stales ;) Frothingham (Riseofthe Republic;) Lodge (Short History of English Colonies;) and a multitude of others, make no mention whatever of the subject of the opposition in New York ; and Bancroft, in the octavo edition of his History of the United States, after alluding, in a dozen words, to the storm which had driven the New York tea-ship to the West Indies, very conveniently said no more on the Bubject -- a suppression of the truth which he shabbily attempted to mitigate, inhis centenary and " thoroughly revised " edition of that work, by an interpolation of five lines, nearly two of which have no relation whatever to the subject of New York's opposition to the tax ; and nearly two others state, in connection with the Nancy, what every novice in the history of those times knows is entirely untrue, in one of its only two statements concerning her.

Strange to say, Lossing, a New York writer, with all the original material within his reach and perfectly accessible, in his Seventeen hundred and seventy-six (page 111,) stated that the Nancy was returned to Europe, only "because no one could be found that would venture to receive the "tea," without an allusion to her having been stopped at Sandy-honk, and returned, thence, to Europe ; aud, uIbo, without theslightest allusion to the London and to what became of her tea. In bis History of the UnitedStates, (page 22A) all that appears, concerning either the Nancy ur the London, is that they " returned to England with their cargoes " ; although the Nancy was the only one which thus returned, and then only because she was compelled to return.
