James Abercromby, 1758

[BATTLE OF TICONDEROGA] – "Extract of a Letter from Major General Abercromby to the Right Hon. Mr. Secretary Pitt, dated at Camp, at Lake George, July 12, 1758." In: The London Gazette Extraordinary. London: E. Owen and T. Harrison, 22 August 1758.



This broadsheet issue of The London Gazette Extraordinary contains a full account of the unsuccessful attack on Fort Ticonderoga (the Battle of Carillon) on 8 July 1758, by British forces led by General James Abercromby and Brigadier Lord Howe, against the French and Canadian Provincials led by the Marquis de Montcalm. Howe is listed as killed in action. "The same version of the report was also copied in the Annual Register or Compleat History of the Late War, published in Dublin in 1766. This History in turn being taken from the Annual register, for 1758... It would show apparently therefore, that this was the popular acceptance of General Abercrombie's own description of the battle. It seems however, that this was not in reality the official report made to Secretary Pitt, not the one filed by him among the official records of his office" (J.A. Hoden, New Historical Light on the Real Burial Place of George Augustus Lord Viscount Howe, 1911, pp. 19-20).



Broadsheet, 292 x 190mm, printed recto and verso; tax stamp on verso (a bit browned, two corners dog-eared.) Provenance: Christie's New York, 19 May 2011, lot 127.
