- Summary
- Suggestions concerning materials to be utilized in the writing of a history of the American Revolution. Colonial history should be periodized at the Glorious Revolution, the year 1763, the year 1774. So much truth is commingled with error, that Jay believes the only true history that has been written is the Bible. Only at the Last Judgment shall we finally discern the truth.
