Excerpt from The Battle of Lake Erie: A Collection of Documents, Chiefly by Commodore Perry; Including the Court-Martial of Commander Barclay and the Court of Enquiry on Captain Elliott; Edited, With Introduction, Annotations, Bibliography, and Analytical Index

The documents selected for publication in this volume are chiefly Of an Official character, and are those of greatest interest and probative value. There are other documents, to be sure, which the future historian of the battle will wish to read, such as the affidavits of Perry's Officers and Perry's charges against Captain Elliott, but these are un official and are biased. Moreover, to have in cluded them would have swelled the book beyond its prescribed limits. About one half Of the docu ments here presented have not been previously pub lished, and many of those that have been published are now issued in a more complete and precise form.
