Excerpt from General Sullivan Not a Pensioner of Luzerne (Minister of France at Philadelphia, 1778-1783): With the Report of the New Hampshire Historical Society, Vindicating Him From the Charge Made by George BancroftIN presenting to the public another edition of the vindication of General Sullivan from the charge that he was a pensioner of Luzerne while delegate in 1780 and 1781 to the Continental Congress from New Hampshire, we are glad to present the report of the Historical Society of that State sustaining the position taken by his descendants and kinsmen that the charge was not only not proved, but was alike inconsistent with his whole career, public and private, with what was known of his situation and conduct at the time, and with the evidence offered by his maligner. The committee appointed by the society in June to inquire into the justice of the charge submitted their report, understood to have been drawn up by their chairman, also president of the society. It was subscribed by the other members Of the committee, and, duly accepted by their asso ciates, has recently been printed in their publications.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
