Sometime Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on the staff of his excellency General Washington. If one reads this volume in the spirit which actuated the author himself when he wrote it, he cannot fail to gain a deeper realization of the significance of the events which helped to shape the early affairs of our country and to feel a keener and more personal interest in maintaining the fundamental principles which were fought for by the men and women of colonial times whose loyal and heroic actions are bodied forth in this story.
Narrated in first person, it is the reminiscences of Hugh Wynne in his old age, writing about the hot-blooded days of his youth, from boyhood through the years of the Revolution.
There is a peculiarly happy, mellow quality in Dr. S. Weir Mitchell's latest novel, Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker[...]. It purports to be the memoirs of its chief character, written many years after the events he describes, and the sense of old age is admirably conveyed. Even in descriptions of the thick of the mêlée at Germantown, or of the charge over the redoubts at Yorktown, one is conscious of the flow of the tranquil pen of the narrator rather than of the waving sword of the actor. It is much as if the old Quaker virus, temporarily neutralized by the hot blood of youth, were once more in the ascendant
