TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

Seven Footnotes ([298], [312], [323], [337], [344], [346], [371]) with Tables describing the 'Order of Battle' had many elements printed sideways in the original text. These have been made horizontal in the etext, with the regiments listed in each column deployed from right to left.

The original text had two dots under the date superscripts 'th', 'st', 'nd' and 'rd'; these dots have been removed in the etext.

A frequent abbreviation in the Footnotes is 'Cal. S. P. Dom.'; this stands for 'Calendar of State Papers, Domestic'. Also 'H. O. M. E. B.' stands for 'Home Office Military Entry Book'.

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
