FOOTNOTES:
[12] In the _Life of Colonel James Gardiner_, by the Rev. J.
Doddridge, D.D., the circumstances connected with his being wounded
at Ramilies are detailed, which the Doctor states he had the
pleasure of hearing more than once from the colonel's own mouth:
but the doctor's memory must have failed in a few points, as there
are some palpable errors in the statement, such as--"the French
were masters of that spot (Ramilies) though their forces were
defeated at some distance;" &c. &c.

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 2-column list of officers on pages 70/71 has been reordered in
a single column so that all Captains precede all Lieutenants.
All { brackets have been removed from the Table on page 96, since
there is no ambiguity in the etext table. This Table has a 'footnote'
referenced by * which remains placed at the bottom of the Table.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text,
and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example,
Field Marshal, Field-Marshal; bedchamber, bed-chamber; patrole;
piquet; riband; signalized; rencounter.
Pg 19, 'Philip Naizon' is also called 'Philip Naison' elsewhere in
the book. Other external sources are also inconsistent in this
regard.
Pg 22, 'Royal Fusileers' replaced by 'Royal Fusiliers'.
Pg 70, 'Lt.-Cl. Patrick' replaced by 'Lt.-Col. Patrick'.
