4 volumes. [2], ii, [1], 4-448; [2], 449; [2], 445; [2], 416, [60] index pp. Engraved title pages with 20 steel-engraved portrait plates (of 24) and 6 (of 7) hand-colored maps, (5 folding). (8vo) period tree calf, spines tooled and lettered in gilt, morocco lettering pieces. Lacks subscribers list at end of Vol. IV. "Two years after the close of the war, John Andrews published his History of the War -with America, France, Spain, and Holland, 1775-1783 ... largely from the newspapers and pamphlets of the day, and was for a while the narrative most satisfactory to the Tory party, though, with some exceptions, its recital is not altogether to their credit. The author seems firm in the belief that French intrigue following the treaty of 1763 did much to instigate the revolt, and that the approbation of the opposition in Parliament did quite as much to forward the measures of the Revolution as the acts of the rebels themselves" (Winsor). Howes A259. Sabin 1501. Bookplates of James L. Brinckerhoff.
