- "In this work Mr. Livingston is said, I know not on what authority, to have been assisted by William Smith and John Morine [!] Scott. For the facts which it contains, he was probably indebted to his brother-in-law, Mr. Alexander, afterwards Lord Stirling, who was about this time secretary to General Shirley."--Sedgwick, T.
