The battles of the world

by J. Douglas Borthwick

To

General Sir John Michel, K.C.B.,

Commanding the Forces

in

British North America,

As a small mark of respect to the highest Military Authority in these Provinces, and a token of esteem for one of the Generals of that glorious army which has fought and conquered in every age of its country’s history, and in almost every clime,—

Whose flag has braved a thousand years

The battle and the breeze;

And whose actions constitute NOT a small portion of the “Battles of the World,”

This work is dedicated
