The engraving does not appear to have been entirely satisfactory to the author, for on its margin the following words are printed: 'Our Cutter hath made the Ordnance too long, and to lye too farre into the River. The Hole also marked with R, should have been on the right hand of the Bridge.' [Illustration: PASSAGE OF THE RIVER LECH, BY GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS.
