Стр. 224 - Come, let us go, while we are in our prime, And take the harmless folly of the time!
Стр. 370 - Maitland, on the 26th in . the afternoon. The troops took the hornwork, which covers the suburb on the left of the Somme, by storm, with but small loss ; and the town immediately afterwards surrendered, on condition that the garrison should lay down their arms and be allowed to return to their homes.
Стр. 52 - British army has had in producing these events, and the high character with which the army will quit this country, must be equally satisfactory to every individual belonging to it, as they are to the Commander of the Forces ; and he trusts that the troops will continue the same good conduct to the last.
