There is great reading in: "An Account of the Transactions in America during the last Campaign" which is very good on George Washington & General Howe in New Jersey and the Chesapeake area (see for portions). A report from Annapolis that Gen. Howe made propositions of peace in Congress. Other American items as well.
Nice full title/index page features a wood engraving of St. John's Gate (see photo). Measures 5 by 8 1/2 inches, with 40 pages. Very nice, clean condition. Lacking plates called for.
