Excerpt from The Loyalist Poetry of the Revolution But contemporaneous invective, while it rarely weighs unduly with posterity, is still worthy of consideration when it comes as the expression of public, rather than private hate; provided that a due allowance is always made for the effect of party spirit, on even the clearest view. A coin seen through water does not appear more distorted from reality, than a character examined through this medium. It is, therefore, mere pedantry and ignorance, as we are told by one of the sages of history, to expect, from minds in amed by the passions of civil war, the temperate judg ment and the measured words of order and tranquillity. It is in this light that this volume should be viewed. The persons assailed in it, like their assailants, have passed away: even of those to whom their features were familiar, but few remain. The sting of personality is therefore avoided; and while the fame of the really good and worthy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Jonathan Odell's live and writings give us insight into the American Revolution by revealing Loyalist ideology—the ambitious few have led the gullible multitude to slaughter—and he rails against the British military for fighting a war of containment aimed at bringing the rebel leadership to negotiation. This policy effectually trapped the Loyalists between the British army, which ignored them, and the rebels, who despised them. One of the best-educated of the colonialists, Odell, a physician turned Anglican minister and then writer, lived the gamut of experience: powerful friends sustained him and the British commanders-in-chief Sir William Howe, Henry Clinton, and Sir Guy Carleton employed him; nevertheless, during the war he was a lonely exile ("Tory hunters" forced him from his home in 1775), and, at the end of the war, when his hope for reconciliation between the Loyalists and the Americans came to nothing, he reluctantly emigrated to Canada. Here is a voice, all but silenced for over two hundred years, that must now be heard if we are to better understand the American Revolution.
