"Issued by the French government, and transmitted to the courts of Europe as a justification of the war with England ... In this volume was printed for the first time, in a French translation, Washington's journal of the expedition of 1754, which, with other papers, had been found by the French at Fort Necessity after the departure of the English troops ... The volume also contains translations of Braddock's papers captured at the battle of the Monongahela ..."--Boston athenæum, Catalogue of the Washington coll., 1897, p. 312.
