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 [Table of Contents] has been created by the Transcriber.
The Table on [page 32] for the year '1707' had vertical column headings which have been replaced by A, B, etc and a Key list added at the top. A few words have been abbreviated to conserve space and also noted in the list.
The Table on pages 74 to 77, [Appendix A], has had some names of months abbreviated (January => Jan. etc) to conserve space. A line of dots has been added for visual separation of many of the bracketed groups. (This does not indicate missing data.)
The acronym 'K. G. L.' in [Appendices C] [and D] stands for 'King's German Legion'.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example, re-inforce, reinforce; Horse-Guards, Horse Guards; connexion; engrafted; intrenched; devotedness.
[Pg 28], Sidenote '1703' appeared twice on this page; the second one (at the paragraph 'For its conduct...') has been deleted.
[Pg 67], 'reigment embarked' replaced by 'regiment embarked'.
[Pg 83], 'recals to the' replaced by 'recalls to the'.
[Pg 93], 'Aid-de-camp' replaced by 'Aide-de-camp' (twice).
