| | The American Revolution (Francis Lightfoot Lee) |
 | | Francis Lightfoot Lee, the fourth son of Thomas Lee, was born on the fourteenth day of October, 1734. |
 | | Francis Lightfoot, the subject of the present memoir, was perhaps not less distinguished, although he had not the advantages, which were enjoyed by the eldersons, of an education at the English universities. |
 | | To his brother, Richard Henry Lee, the high honor was allotted of bringing forward the momentous question of independence, and to him, and his associates in that distinguished assembly, the not inferior honor was granted of aiding and supporting and finishing this important work. |
