Accounts by British Officers. Index. There are few accounts by British officers describing their part in the War of American Independence; only some two dozen British accounts can be set against hundreds of American. These letters of a young Scots officer, Sir James Murray, are, therefore, of particular importance to students. Besides giving much historical information about the British attitude towards the war, they are also of interest in themselves. They give a vivid picture of an intelligent soldier who was keenly interested n the events of the day and who wrote in a lively style far removed from the dullness of military despatches. They are printed here for the first time. Sir JAMES (1751?-1811), seventh baronet of Clermont, general, was only son of Sir Robert Murray, sixth baronet. James was gazetted on 30 April 1771 to a company in the 57th foot and succeeded his father in the baronetcy in the same year. He went with his regiment to America, under Lord Cornwallis, in December 1775; took part in the attempt on Charleston, South Carolina, and was afterwards engaged in various minor expeditions about New York. He accompanied that regiment to the West Indies, and commanded a provisional battalion of light companies at the capture of St. Lucia the same year. When the 94th was disbanded on the peace of 1783, Murray was placed on half-pay. At his untimely death at the age of 36 Eric Robson had risen high in the ranks of English historians and he had the most brilliant prospects. He had a brilliant career as a student at Manchester University. In 1939 he sought no easy job; he served with the West African Regiment, reached the rank of Major, and after arduous campaigns - Abyssinia, and later in Burma - he became the historian of his regiment. His active service may have led him later to specialize in military history. After the war he was appointed as a lecturer at Manchester University and soon became known as an authority on the Eighteenth Century, especially in its American and military aspects. His reputation was such that he was asked to compile the relevant chapters for the new edition of the Cambridge Modern History. He wrote regularly for the leading historical journals and some of his articles and criticisms may be found in the bound volumes of "History To-day," At the time of his death he was collaborating in producing the Official History of Parliament. His Letters From America are a key part of his lasting legacy.
