"Lee's Memoirs."
We learn, with much pleasure, that
Adolphus Morris, of this city, is about to publish a new edition of this work, under the auspices of a member of the author's family.
It is to contain a biographical sketch of
General Lee, and numerous letters, never before published.
A new edition of
Gen. Lee's book has long been a
desideratum. We think it a great pity that some one does not undertake an edition, also, of "Tariton's Campaigns," and
Mackenzie's reply to Tariton's statements.
They are valuable books, although written with much less spirit and life than
Lee's, and they relate to the same events.
A cheap edition of the two, we should think, would sell.
We are impatient to see
Mr. Morris' publication, and hope it will be forth-coming soon.
