This is the third state of The death of General Montgomery at the siege of Quebec. The revision of the title produces a more precise statement since Montgomery was killed in the storming and not in the siege of Quebec. The statement By different gentlemen also makes for correctness since Brackenridge was not the author of the elegiac pieces.--Cf. BAL

Error in pagination: p. 78 misnumbered 68.
