Notes:

Vol. 1 published at London in 1798. About 160 pages of v. 2 printed at Burlington, Vt., in 1802, but few, if any, copies were put into circulation. In 1804 the author published at Philadelphia without t.p. the "Narrative of the transactions relative to the capture of the American ship. Olive Branch" (368 p.) containing much material taken from v. 1 but called by Allen v. 2. The present ed. of v. 2 includes a summary of v. 1 and may be considered as a complete work--Cf. Gilman, Bibl. of Vermont, 1897. p.8.
