THE favour with which the following little work has been received will, I hope, justify my now dedicating it to you. I am not induced to take this liberty by the renown of your talents throughout Europe; the peaceful habits of my life make me unable to appreciate those achievements upon the Rhine, and before the Lines of Weisembourg, which have received the panegyric of his Imperial Majesty, and will perpetuate your name as long as bravery and military skill rank
