HIS Work contains General Kane’s Memoirs, in I his long Service under two of the greateft Gene- rals the World ever knew, the Immortal King William, and the ViGorious Duke of Marlborough ; which enabled him to make fo many judicious Military Obferva~ tions, on the good Conduct of fome, and the Miftakeés of others, that itis hoped this Hiftory will greatly tend to the Improvement of our young Officers, being equal to that of any Writer; concife, accurate, and inftructive ; and has, all that renders a Work of this kind agreeable and ufeful. A new Scene of Glory opens in the fecond Part ; Bat- tles won, Towns taken in the ufual Form, or furrendering, without the Formalities of a Siege; Lines paffed, vait Countries over-run. Such a Series of Succefs, fuch a Ra~ pidity of Conquefts, as cannot be matched in Hiftory, and will tranfmit to lateft Pofterity the Immortal Name of Marlborough. Happy for us, if the Advantages of ten unparallelled Campaigns, over our then contemptible Enemy, had not been given up by a moft fhameful Peace, by the avaritious Treachery of our Court Campaigners, by which our Allies were abandoned, our Trade neglected, and a Foundation, laid for moft, if not all, the fucceeding Troubles of Europe. General Kane {pent the latter Part of his Life at his Go. vernment in Afinorca; beloved while living, honoured, and univerfally lamented when dead *. His Memory will ever be dear, fince all who knew him, allow hini to have been one of the compleatcft Officers of his Time, and one of the beft of Men. The Camp Difcipline, Military Schemes, &c. are De~ figns of experienced Officers, whofe Names (had I Authom rity to mention) would fufficiently recommend this Work go all Profeflors in the Art of War. * General Kane was born 2oth. December,"166%. Wis fir Commiffion, waa 1689, Died 19the December, 17360 INDE
