Mercy Otis Warren, conscience of the American Revolution
I entered these works by Mercy Otis Warren by hand. (The old type, with
"s" that looks like "f" and other peculiarities characteristic of the time,
makes this text impossible to scan). I have modernized the spelling and
punctuation and made other edits for readability. Please let me know of
typos, so I can fix them promptly. Richard Seltzer seltzer@samizdat.com
Mercy Warren's entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition,
1911:
"Warren, Mercy (1728-1814), American writer, sister of James Otis, was
born at Barnstable, Mass., and in 1754 married James Warren (1726-1808)
of Plymouth, Mass., a college friend of her brother. Her literary inclinations
were fostered by both these men, and she began early to write poems and
prose essays. As member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives (1766-1774)
and its speaker (1776-1777 and 1787-1788), member (1774 and 1775) and president
(1775) of the Provincial Congress, and paymaster-general in 1775, James
Warren took a leading part in the events of the American revolutionary
period, and his wife followed its progress with keen interest. Her gifts
of satire were utilized in her political dramas, The Adulator (1773) and
The Group (1775); and John Adams, whose wife Abigail was Mercy Warren's
close friend, encouraged her to further efforts. Her tragedies "The Sack
of Rome" and "The Ladies of Castile," were included in her Poems, Dramatic
and Miscellaneous (1790), dedicated to General Washington. Apart from their
historical interest among the beginnings of American literature, Mercy
Warren's poems have no permanent value. In 1805 she published a History
of the American Revolution, which was colored by somewhat outspoken personal
criticism and was bitterly resented by John Adams (see his correspondence,
published by the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1878). James Warren
died in 1808, and his wife followed him on the 19th of October 1814."

The Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution
"Mercy Warren: Conscience of the American Revolution" a detailed review
of this book by Richard Seltzer
The original 3-volume work is 1317 pages long. Mercy wrote early drafts
of this work near the time of the events described, and completed the work
about four years before its appeared in 1805. She explains the delay as
due to health problems, temporary bouts of blindness, and grief at the
death of her only son.
Mercy writes in the third person even when dealing with events involving
her immediate family. Keep in mind that James Otis (early advocate of the
rights of the colonies) was her brother, James Warren (speaker of the Massachusetts
House of Representatives) was her husband, and Winslow Warren (would-be
diplomat) was her son.
