Excerpt from Recollections of Samuel Breck: With Passages From His Note-Books (1771-1862)
The book rests its claim to notice not on the reputa tion or character of Mr. Breck. Those who knew that courteous and honorable gentleman will read it with the more interest, and will testify to his integrity, his obstinate firmness in principle, his sound judgment and his generous nature. Some of these qualities will be discovered by the reader from the book itself; and no one can be familiar with Mr. Breek's private writings and not have a hearty confidence in his truthfulness and candor. Nor does the book profess to add import ant facts to history, although in two or three cases, as in the account of the naval encounter in Boston Harbor and his report of judge Peters's explanation of the arrest of Flower, it may be that he has added to our acquaintance with historical facts. The real value of the book will be readily perceived to lie in its power to reconstruct the past for us as a living force.
