Shortly, after its publication a review in the Boston Evening Transcript read: Bringing together, in March to Quebec, the journals of the Quebec Expedition is an exceedingly valuable contribution to the Americana of the Revolution ... Many have been practically inaccessible ... Only a few libraries in the country have them all, and he who would buy them for himself would be obliged to spend a large sum of money and wait a year or so before some dealer in rare books could accumulate all of them. Roberts incorporated some of these historical notes in his other books, such as Arundel.
