Note 412 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Belknap (Papers, ii. 164) says the wind was southwest all day, and incommoded the British but not the intrenchment. There are some verses on the burning of Charlestown, attributed to Barlow. (Moore's Songs and Ballads of the Amer. Rev., 95.) For a supposed painting, see Mem. Hist. Boston, iii. 86.
