Note
Follows an apparently unrelated naval journal kept by Charles Sloane, cataloged separately.
On end flyleaf: Hands engaged for reaping the 12th July [9 names] signed at end Samuel Miller.
Contains maxims, philosophical questions and answers, music, and personal accounts, including the purchase on 14 March 1786 of a small boat with nails, bolts, sails, and services pertaining to the boat. Miller's partner was one Daniel Bishop: the seller was Col. Potter.
The undated philosophical reflections (p. [2]-[4]) show the hand of God in delivering "an Undisaplin'd Feeble People without Furran Aid or Alliance, our Resources very small, Distitute of Arms Ammunition or Money, engag'd against a powerful Nation compleat in all those Articles -- how have we been Supported ...?" A list of significant Revolutionary events follows, ending with the capture of Cornwallis and his army, "From which we may conclude that there is a God that rules in Heaven, upon this Earth, and that minds the Affairs of Men."
