Sabin says of this work:

It contains many details and anecdotes which are not to be found in any other work; indeed, the great variety and numerous items of information contained in these volumes, make the work a cyclopedia of the American Revolution. The popularity of the work has made for it a great sale, consequently the earliest edition is much preferred on account of the clearness of the woodcuts.
