ENTITLED Lives of the British Generals, FROM THE PERIOD OF THE CONQUEST. BY JOHN PHILIPPART, Esq. THE object of this undertaking is, to give a faithful account of the Lives of such British Generals, as have distinguished themselves, from the period of the Conquest to the Present Time; and thus to present a MILITARY HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY to the Officers of the British Army, and the Public in general. At an epocha, when Great Britain is continually rising in political preponderance and military renown, when numerous disadvantages have been overcome by the vigor and persevering energies of the present Illustrious Commander-in-Chief, as well as by its own invincible valor, the British army has arrived at a pinnacle of glory which it becomes every citizen to applaud, and every pen to immortalize, a work of this nature cannot be considered as useless or unimportant. The grand results of our Naval Biography are allowed, by all conversant with the subject, to have been a most powerful stimulus to the exertions of those gallant defenders of Britain, who traverse the trackless deep and brave the tempest, with no other reward in view for their pains and privations, than grap pling with the enemies of their Prince; and the Author, in calling the attention of the Officers of the Army to this circumstance, considers that the LIVES OF THE BRITISH GENERALS will not be regarded as less necessary; and flatters himself, from the character of the Army, that their support will not be less liberal, than that which was afforded to the "Lives of the British Admirals." each of This work will be completed in about Six Volumes, which will be embellished with an elegant Engraving. For the convenience of the Subscribers to the Lives of the British Admirals," (commenced by the late Mr. Redhead Yorke, and continuing by Mr. Finlaison, of the Admiralty,) it will be pub lished in a form agreeing with that work. A few Copies will be printed on Royal Paper, Price One Guinea each Volume. All Communications relative to the Lives and Services of the BRITISH GENERALS will be strictly attended to; and the Author confidently appeals to the liberality of those individuals who may possess documents, which can assist a work of this description. Subscribers to the BRITISH GENERALS are requested to send their Names, (free of postage) addressed to the Author, at Mr. EGERTON'S Military Library, Charing Cross; Mr. A. J. VALPY'S Tooke's Court, Chancery Lane, London; through any of the London or Country Booksellers: or London Agent, who, it is requested, may be directed to receive and pay for the volumes as they are published.
