Israel Mauduit made it the occasion of a severe condemnation of Howe in his Strictures on the Philadelphia Mischianza, or Triumph upon leaving America unconquered (London, 1779,—Sparks Catal., no. 2,550). Later accounts will be found in the Lady's Mag. (Philad., 1792); Anna H.

General Wayne's was sold in the Menzies sale, no. 2,095 ($100); it covered Feb. 26-May 27, 1778, and had been used by Sparks, Irving, and Bancroft. One covering May-June is in the Boston Athenæum, extracts from which are in the Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc.

Soc.). Cf. Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., vii. 133.
