Bancroft, after having consolidated the Remonstrance and the Memorial, making them one paper, obliged Uurke to offer both, on the same day, and in the same House, all of which were described in the narrow compass of four lines, without even a hint how such an Assembly as he had previously described, could have produced such a paper -- his silence serving to screen his unfaithfulness, as a historian, both in a falsification and in a suppression of the truth. (History of the United States, original edition, iv., 280 ; the same, centenary edition, iv., 516.) John C. Hamilton, of course, by his suppression as well as by his falsification of the truth, in order that his father and his grandfather might he unduly eulogized, is equally untrustworthy (History of the Republic, i., 86.) Lendrum, (History of the American Revolution, i., 87;) "Paul Allen" (History of the American Revolution, i., 237, 238;) Gordon, (History of theAmerican Revolution, i., 601) ;) Ramsay, (History of the American Revolution, i., 171, 172 j) and others, less prominent but not less popular, have been equally unfaithful, as historians, in this matter.

Lossing, (Field Book of the Revolution;) Frothingham, (Rise of the Republic ;) Ridpath, (History of the United States ;) Lodge, (History of the English Colonies in America;) Morse, (Annals of the American Revolution;) Warren, (History of the American Revolution ;) and others, although abounding in facts and fictions concerning Massachusetts, have not spared a line for the recognition of what was done for "the common "cause," by the General AsBembly of the Colouy of New York.
