TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.
The Table on page 32 for the year '1707' had vertical column
headings which have been replaced by A, B, etc and a Key list added
at the top. A few words have been abbreviated to conserve space and
also noted in the list.
The Table on pages 74 to 77, Appendix A, has had some names of
months abbreviated (January => Jan. etc) to conserve space.
The acronym 'K. G. L.' in Appendices C and D stands for 'King's
German Legion'.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text,
and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example,
re-inforce, reinforce; Horse-Guards, Horse Guards; connexion;
engrafted; intrenched; devotedness.
Pg 28, Sidenote '1703' appeared twice on this page; the second one
(at the paragraph 'For its conduct...') has been deleted.
Pg 67, 'reigment embarked' replaced by 'regiment embarked'.
Pg 83, 'recals to the' replaced by 'recalls to the'.
Pg 93, 'Aid-de-camp' replaced by 'Aide-de-camp' (twice).
