1779 Revolutionary WAR Accounts! Admr Keppel Byron Ben Franklin Revolution



“This, a most valuable record and chronicle of historical and political events for over a hundred years contains accurate accounts of the Revolutionary War, as well as the revolutions in South American, the Second War with Great Britain, and many other American subjects.”

– Sabin, 1614



Through the end of the 18th-century, “The Annual Register” became the most respected journal in print. The periodical was a reference work that contained major events from each year, focusing on economics, politics, arts, trends, and world developments. Many leading historians of the American Revolutionary period, including David Ramsay, James Murray, and William Gordon “borrowed heavily from the Annual Register” (Gephart 1016, 2565).



This 1779 register covers a significant amount of information on

the Revolutionary War including, in the second chapter, reports on the attempts at peace and the Congressional negotiations.

Marquis de Bouilles French fleet near Boston,

reports on Admiral Keppels commanding assignments,

Admiral Byron takes command in West Indies,

A description of the Alhambra of Granada,

fragments from Benjamin Franklins political works.
