[347] Warrant dated 10th March 1759.
[348] Holderness to Ferdinand, undated (before February), 1759.
[349] It is hardly necessary to recall to readers the story of the occupation of Frankfort in Goëthe's Dichtung und Wahrheit.
[350] Some British squadrons were present at this action but were not engaged.
[351] Ferdinand to Holderness, 21st June; Holderness to Ferdinand, 30th June, 3rd July 1759.
[352] Ferdinand to Holderness, 6th July 1759.
[353] "A n'en bouger plus" are Ferdinand's own words. His exasperation against Anhalt was evidently extreme.
[354] 81 officers, 1311 men.
[355] Mauvillon has a curious and striking passage on the subject.
[356] These regiments with their dates of formation are as follows: 85th, Crawfurd's Volunteers, 21st July 1759; 86th, Worge's (for Goree), 24th August 1759; 87th, Keith's Highlanders, 25th August 1759; 88th, Campbell's Highland Volunteers, 1st January 1760; 89th, Morris's Highlanders, 13th October 1759; 90th, Morgan's (Irish), 7th December 1759; 91st, Blayney's (Irish), 12th January 1760; 92nd, Gore's (Irish), 17th January 1760; 93rd, Bagshawe's (Irish), 17th January 1760; 94th, Vaughan's (Welsh), 12th January 1760; Campbell's Argyleshire Fencibles, 21st July 1759; Sutherland's Highlanders, 11th August 1757. These numbers, of course, disappeared at the close of the war, when the regiments were disbanded. The two last named were never numbered.
