To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If fairly given, it amounts to no less than ninety-two ofiicers, many of them an irreparable loss — a melancholy disproportion to the number of the private soldiers — and there is a melancholy reason for it. Though my letter passes in security, I tremble while I write it ; and let it not pass even in a whisper from your lordship to more than one person [the king]. The zeal and intrepidity of the ofiicers, which was without ex- ception exemplary, was ill-seconded by the private men. Discipline, ...not to say coui-age, was wanting. In the critical moment of can-ying the redoubt, the ofiicers of some corps were almost alone ; and what was the worst part of the confusion of these corps, all the wounds of the officers were not received from the enemv." This very remarkable disclosure will bring to the mind of the reader the contrast, to some extent, of what was experienced on the provincial side, where it was thought at the time that — of course, allowing for A'ery marked exceptions — the men exhibited more prowess than the officers.
