TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.

Bold text is denoted by =equal signs=.

There are five occurrences of a regimental badge identity portrayed as a large-text fraction without a -- under the 'numerator'. These have been modified in the etext to V/D.G. 7/DG 4/H XX/H and XXI/H.

The two footnotes in the text have been placed at the end of the section where the reference (anchor) is.

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.

Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example, re-named, renamed; body-guard, bodyguard; Neer Landen, Neer-Landen; Belle Isle, Belle-Isle.

Pg 162, '1741-51. Colonel James Long' replaced by '1749-51...'. Pg 197, 'no less that seven' replaced by 'no less than seven'. Pg 203, 'The 89th ... London: Parker. 1842.' The year 1842 is clearly incorrect, but has been retained since the correct year is unknown.
