This is a description of the attempt made by the _French_ upon _Savoy_, which Countrey lieth in the Mountains of the _Alpes_, therefore called here _Highlanders_; where the Peasants being incensed for the loss of their goods and the ruine of their Countrey, rolled stones from the top of the Mountains against the _French_ Army, which could not hinder them from being destroyed; this came to pass under _Henry_ the IV. King of _France_, in the year 1662.
