"It is well known that, during our Revolutionary War, a very large part, if not an
actual majority, of the American people remained more or less attached to the cause of the
Crown. And considering how much of the education and intelligence of the community
was included in their ranks, it will not be surprising to find that the Loyalists of that day
were far from remiss in their efforts to vindicate their own conduct, or to attack that of their
opponents. But as from the outset, with very rare exceptions, the press over all the conti-
nent was in the hands of the Whigs, they were thus shut out for the time from the popular
ear; and since the close of the struggle, their literary productions have sunk into oblivion.
Nevertheless, much of the Loyalist poetry of that season possesses a degree of vigor and of
real merit worthy of a better cause and a better fate; and Mr. Sargent has rendered an ac-
ceptable service in rescuing it from neglect."

"This great work is a complete Thesaurus· -an overflowing treasury of knowledge, respecting the Aborigines of America. It embraces their history, ethnography, antiquities, and languages; their ancient and modern geography; their manners and customs, religion and superstitions; their agriculture, commerce, and trade; their ornamental arts, and their physical and intellectual peculiarities. All these subjects are treated, not in a general and summary manner, but in detail, each topic being patiently and thoroughly discussed and exhausted; the work, although mainly executed by the author's own hand, having received the contributions of many savans thoroughly conversant with particular subjects embraced in its pages. The result is such a work as could have been produced in no other way. It is the most complete and thorough collection of treatises relating to the Indians, and comprises also the only general history of the aboriginal race, which has ever been published. It is a Library of Indian history and ethnography, and embraces within itself the substance of all that is known concerning the tribes as tribes, and the race as a race. To the scholar, the historian, the statesman, and the philologist, such a work is indispensable. No public or well appointed private library can be considered complete without it; and the general reader who wishes for satisfactory and reliable information about the Indians as they are at the present time, or as they have been at any previous period since America was discovered, must have recourse to these volumes. The illustrations of the Archives are executed in the most complete and finished style, literally without regard to expense;' and, as a whole, they comprise one of the proudest monuments of American art.'

This very valuable catalogue was compiled by the late Mr. Cochrane, of the London
Library, St. James's Square. It contains very numerous references to the works of Sir
Walter Scott, where he refers to, or quotes, the various books in the library.

"The nature and extent of the collection throw light in a remarkable manner on the
history of its founder. The reader has before him a faithful inventory of the materials with
which the National Poet and Novelist had stored his mind before he began his public career,
and of the zeal with which he watched the progress of literary enterprise down to the close
of his life."

The three works relating to this interesting controversy are seldom found together. They exhibit curious and minute details of Scott's connection with the Ballantynes, as a publisher, and of the events which ultimately resulted in his ruin and death.
