Excerpt from Memoir of Colonel Seth Warner In the first volume of Sparks' American Biography IS a memoir of Ethan Allen, * from which the reader may obtain as com petent a knowledge of the man as he can desire-e-he will find his character with all his eccentricities, clearly, truly and fully portrayed. The character of Seth Warner, to whom we are so deeply indebted for the independence of Vermont, and who was so distinguished an'oificer in the war of the revolution should also pass down to future generations in its true light. To effect this, I shall portray his character as fully as the scanty materials which can be obtained at this late day, and my own recollection of the men of those early times will admit.
