Some cursory remarks made by James Birket in his voyage to North America, 1750-1751.

"The diary here printed under its original title, 'Some cursory remarks made by James Birket', came undoubtedly from the collection of Dr. William Thornton, now on deposit in the Library of Congress. It was preserved by Mrs. Margaret Bayard Smith ... and descended to Mrs. Smith's grandson, J. Henley Smith, by whom it was presented to the University for publication."--Pref.
