"The very curious history of this memoir deserves attention from all students of American history. At the surrender of Fort Necessity by Washington, his Journal of the Expedition, together with the letters of Braddock to the British Ministry, and his instructions to Washington, were seized by the French victors. They were immediately transmitted to France, and by order of the French king, printed and sent to every court of Europe, as indicating the aggressive character of the British. From evidence drawn from these docu

ments, they charge Washington with the murder of Jumonville. This was the second
publication of any of Washington's writings, and the first notice the public had of his
Journal. It was translated and printed in New York, in 1757, under the title of A Memorial,
etc., and the same year in Dublin under the title of Review of Military Operations in N. A.,
and Journal of Major Washington. It is very clear from the French relation that Jumon-
ville was approaching Washington on an embassy of peace, but that Washington, unwilling
to trust him, had ordered his advance to be fired upon."- Field.
