- W2334141838 abstract "THE JOURNAL, now in the Huntington Library, which Ambrose Serle kept from 1776 to 1778 as secretary to Admiral Howe has unusual interest not only for the specialist in the history of the American Revolution but also for those who wish to understand the attitude of a well-educated civilian toward the Americans and the imperial problems of the day.' There are, indeed, very few English accounts of this period which are not those of army or navy men whose comments on nonmilitary matters are perfunctory in the extreme. Serle's descriptions of military and naval events will probably add little of importance to existing information, but those portions of the journal-and they are not the smallest by far-which are devoted to his conceptions of imperial policy, his work as Lord Howe's secretary, his lengthy talks with leading loyalists, and his progressive disillusionment with the conduct of the war, are notable contributions to the history of these years. The journal, moreover, is travel literature of a very high order, written by a man of varied interests who possessed a thorough knowledge of literature and who was deeply sensitive to his surroundings. Serle was thus no ordinary observer but one whose training and philosophy gave point to his opinions and coherence to his judgments. In addition, his unique position as a civilian in intimate association with Lord Howe gave him an unusual opportunity to see more than one aspect of a complicated situation. Friend and confidant both of English leaders and of American loyalists, Serle was never permitted to regard the Revolution wholly from the point of view of either group. He was ultimately forced to make his own analysis of the cause of the loyalists and of the manner in which the war was being conducted. That the result was an extremely pessimistic outlook onlv emnhasi7es the inevitahle contradiction which" @default.
