William Mure to Andrew Stuart, dated Yorktown, Oct. 21, 1781, in Mahon's Hist. of England, vol. vii. App. xxxviii. There is in the Boston Public Library a MS. orderly-book of the troops under Lord Cornwallis, dated Williamsburgh, 28 June, 1781, to Yorktown, 19 October, 1781, and made up by several officers. The generally received account of the reception of the news in England is probably not correct. Cf. Stockbridge in Mag. of Amer. Hist., vii. 321.
[1221] The official account of the recent celebration at Yorktown is called a Report of the Commission for a monument commemorative of the Surrender of Lord Cornwallis (Wash., 1883). This contains Robert C. Winthrop's oration, which has also been separately printed. Another notable address was by the Hon. J. L. M. Curry, delivered at Richmond and published. A French account of this anniversary, Yorktown Centénaire de l'indépendance des Etats-Unis d'Amérique, 1781-1881 (Paris, 1886), is the work of Rochambeau's descendant. Cf. Stone's French Allies, 535; Mag. of Amer. Hist., vii. 302; Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xix. 101. Another volume called forth by the same celebration is An Account of General Lafayette's Visit to Virginia in 1824-25, by Robert D. Ward, Richmond, 1881.

[1223] Yet in 1668-9 the colony of Massachusetts had sent a ship-load of masts to Charles II.; and at the end of the century, Bellomont, in one of his despatches home, says that from the port of Boston there sailed more vessels built in New England than belonged to all Scotland and Ireland. Bellomont urged on the home government the importance of making in America their own tar and pitch. New Hampshire was already sending masts, yards, and bowsprits to England, and Bellomont shows the government how they could save by carrying them for themselves. This was in 1700 and 1701.
