d'auvergne_n to_o the_o reader_n some_o people_n will_v wonder_v why_o this_o account_n come_v out_o so_o late_a i_o rather_o complain_v that_o it_o come_v out_o too_o soon_o as_o late_o as_o it_o be_v publish_v the_o reader_n may_v easy_o perceive_v by_o the_o negligence_n of_o the_o style_n and_o the_o many_o fault_n of_o the_o press_n that_o it_o have_v be_v both_o writ_n and_o print_v in_o haste_n the_o great_a variety_n of_o action_n in_o the_o last_o campagne_n have_v swell_v this_o history_n to_o a_o considerable_a bulk_n which_o therefore_o have_v require_v some_o time_n to_o

difference_n find_v in_o the_o spell_a of_o several_a word_n beside_o other_o fault_n which_o i_o hope_v the_o courteous_a reader_n will_v pardon_v i_o have_v only_o correct_v those_o error_n of_o the_o press_n which_o alter_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o phrase_n the_o re●t_n i_o must_v leave_v to_o be_v amend_v by_o the_o judicious_a reader_n indeed_o a_o account_n of_o this_o nature_n shall_v not_o be_v publish_v without_o be_v first_o peruse_v by_o some_o of_o the_o general_a officer_n concern_v but_o such_o a_o just_a and_o necessary_a circumspection_n will_v keep_v the_o work_n too_o long_o from_o the_o public_a which_o love_v to_o have_v thing_n new_a therefore_o it_o must_v even_o be_v content_a to_o have_v it_o attend_v with_o several_a mistake_v and_o i_o may_v say_v worse_o fault_n it_o be_v what_o oblige_v i_o to_o beg_v the_o excuse_n of_o those_o great_a and_o worthy_a gentleman_n who_o noble_a feat_n and_o action_n make_v up_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o history_n for_o the_o several_a fault_n and_o mistake_n of_o this_o book_n which_o if_o more_o exact_a will_v be_v more_o just_a to_o their_o deserve_a honour_n and_o praise_n in_o so_o glorious_a a_o action_n as_o the_o siege_n of_o namur_n where_o every_o regiment_n concern_v have_v perform_v wonder_n it_o be_v very_o difficult_a for_o i_o to_o do_v express_a justice_n to_o all_o and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v that_o when_o i_o offend_v in_o this_o respect_n their_o generous_a nature_n will_v incline_v they_o to_o pardon_n a_o dry_a journal_n may_v be_v make_v in_o the_o camp_n but_o i_o think_v that_o a_o historical_a account_n wherein_o a_o man_n must_v specify_v the_o connexion_n and_o coherence_n of_o the_o several_a matter_n of_o fact_n their_o relation_n to_o and_o dependence_n from_o
