FOOTNOTES:
[20] Twelfth, twentieth, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, thirty-seventh,
and fifty-first regiments.
[21] The engraving prefixed to this memoir is from West's celebrated
picture, and represents the moment when news is brought that
the victory is in favour of the English. This picture attracted
extraordinary notice, not only for the event it represents, but
also for its general excellence, and from the circumstance of the
characters being dressed in appropriate costume, and not habited
as Greeks or Romans, which was considered the classic dress in
historical pictures of this period. It is one of the best of our
historical pictures, and the painter has happily and poetically
introduced the Indian warrior, who is watching the dying hero, to see
if he equalled in fortitude the warriors of his own savage race.
