A monograph upon the Mecklenburg declaration of independence which was read before the Scotch-Irish society of America in June of 1895. It has been enlarged and revised to meet the requirements of publication in book form.


“Will be found decidedly interesting. It is not equally convincing, for, altho it must be conceded that he adduces more documentary evidence than did any of his predecessors, Dr. Graham, has, like them, seen fit to rely largely on the testimony of assumption and hearsay already made familiar through their efforts but inadmissible in the court of history.”

“The work, as an effort to validate the document, is one of supererogation. As a historical monograph by a high authority, however, it deserves to be read.”

Graham, Harry (Col. D. Streamer, pseud.). [Misrepresentative women.] $1. Duffield.

In “this villainous collection of abominable verse” this modest author sings merrily of Eve, Lady Godiva, Marie Corelli, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Mrs. Grundy, Dame Rumor, and other good souls who have achieved fame in one way or another; then he passes on to, The self-made father to the ready-made son, and other extraneous matter.
