During the Revolution he warmly espoused the cause of the colonies, and became, Sep. 18, 1775, Col. of the 2nd Battalion of Penna. Troops. He was very active in raising troops to aid in the cause of Independence. "The dissentions in his Battalion and reluctance on the part of his men to serve anywhere except in their own immediate neighborhood, caused him to resign, Dec., 1776. This was a source of deep regret, as, besides being fond of a mili- tary life, he had anticipated some reputation by exercising, in behalf of his country, the professional experience and knowledge which he possessed." His journal, dating from 1756 to 1757, giving interest- ing accounts of the operations of the Colonial forces, the building of Fort Augusta, at Shamokin, and a part of Washington's early career, was published by the State of Penna. Col. Burd resided at "Tinian," near Harrisburg, where he d. Oct. 5, 1793.

partly on a mercantile adventure, but chiefly for the advantages to be derived from foreign travel. He returned to Phila., Dec., 1761, and was appointed, Jan. 2, 1762, Secretary to the Provincial Coun- cil. After eleven years of strict attention to his duties, he repre- sented to the Council that "£11 a year was by no means an ade- quate satisfaction for his services." Later on, his health becoming infirm, he removed, about 1773, to Kennett Square, Chester Co., Penna., where he busied himself with rural pursuits. On Jan. 19, 1765, he joined the Am. Philos. Soc. His health continued feeble for several years, but he remained Sec. of the Council until the Revolu- tionary war. He removed to a place which he purchased in Chester Co., and which, in honor of his mother, he called Plumley. He was appointed Judge of Lancaster Court in 1789, and d. there, having served his country and filled with honor many reputable stations, esteemed by all who knew him as an eminently just and upright man. To his services as a soldier, he added the accomplishments of a scholar and of a man of taste, and was not destitute of some talent in versification. He is said to have written the following lines, which give us the names of the belles of his day :


LINES WRITTEN IN AN ASSEMBLY ROOM.


"In lovely White's most pleasing form, What various graces meet ! How blest with every striking charm ! How languishingly sweet !
