Note 1182 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Cf. Life of Count Rumford, by George E. Ellis, pp. 123-131, and 666-668. There is absolutely nothing about Rumford's military career in Renwick's so-called Life of Benjamin Thomson, in Sparks's American Biography, xv. pp. 1-216. A most curious and insufficient reason for this omission is given on p. 59 of the same work.
