NOTICE

1º. In the present volume will be found a plan of the Peninsula on
a very small scale, yet sufficient to indicate the general range
of operations. A large map would be enormously expensive without
any correspondent advantages to the reader; and it would only be a
repetition of errors, because there are no materials for an accurate
plan. The small one now furnished, together with the sketches which
I have drawn and published with each volume, and which are more
accurate than might be supposed, will give a clear general notion of
the operations. Those who desire to have more detailed information
will find it in Lieutenant Godwyn’s fine atlas of the battles in the
Peninsula—a work undertaken by that officer with the sole view of
forming a record of the glorious actions of the British army.
