JOHN MARTIN.

Woburn Abbey.

_General Braddock._--Can any of your readers furnish me with information

relative to this officer? His disastrous expedition against Fort Du Quesne,

and its details, are well known; but I should like to know something more

of his previous history. Walpole gives an anecdote or two of him, and

mentions that he had been Governor of Gibraltar. I think too he was of

Irish extraction. Is there no portrait or engraving of Braddock in

existence?
