Excerpt from Fort Braddock Letters, or a Tale of the French and Indian Wars, in America, at the Beginning of the Eighteenth Century

With ai View, therefore, of en couraging a taste for inquiries into the deeds of our fathers, these -let ters are now presentedt the'pub lie, in a form less perishable than the columns of a newspaper. The unknown, from Whom they-originat ed, evidently drinks deep at the rich fountains of American history, and wields a pen not unworthy of an im itator of his great prototype of Scot land. Nor is the value of these sketches lessened from the apparent anachronisms, scattered through their pages For it is a well known fact, that graduates from Yale Col lege could not be concerned in the capture of the notorious Capt. Kidd, who expiatedhis crlmes at Execu tionadock, before any students had left that seminary.
