A thorough analysis of the famous ride and the events of April 18-19th, 1775. Fischer provides highly useful summaries of several background issues -- e.g., the strength of the British columns -- that earlier accounts either take for granted or squabble over in minute detail.

Second, Treats of Making Divers Sorts of Globes, both as to the Geometrical and Mechanical Work . . . To which is Added an Appendix, Wherein the Present State of Geography is Consider'd. London: T. Horne et alia, 1717.
This was consulted in the British Library's microfilm series, The Eighteenth Century (Woodbridge, Conn.: Research Publications), reel 1520, item 2, and at Harvard University's Houghton Library. Both copies have a first signature of 32 pages with a dedication (to the polymath Samuel Molyneux), preface, and advertisement, all unpaginated. Both also use the same pagination (113-44) for two signatures. Page references to the second signature so-numbered are prefixed by "(2)"; bibliographic descriptions, which generally list "pp.[32], 216," should identify "pp.[32], 144, [32], 72"; this strange pagination also led the binders to place figures intended for the section on globes incorrectly in the appendix.
