any _moment_, and at some
future day to arrange and publish the same.--SOME Materials for such
a Work I have collected, others I still wait for----Such an Historic
RECORD may be found acceptable; when ready it shall be announced to
the Public.
The present Publication, now offered to the IRISH NATION, while it
enumerates the dangers which awaited every loyal Man, must
demonstrate to the deluded Creatures (aiding and abetting) the
certain Impossibility of succeeding in any similar attempt.
To those persons who kindly supplied the Letters, &c. for the
foregoing pages, I feel particularly indebted, and beg they will
accept my grateful thanks. As I intend continuing an account of the
other Engagements down to the French Invasion and their defeat at
Ballinamuck, Gentlemen who have been in the different Battles which
are not yet come to hand, are invited to forward an account of them
as soon as possible previous to the completion of the SECOND PART
of this NARRATIVE.
With respect,
I am the Reader's
Obliged Servant,

Transcriber's Note
Inconsistencies and variations in punctuation, spelling, hyphenation,
capitalization and grammar have been preserved to match the text of
the original document published in 1799.
Because the original plate for Page 25 made only a partial impression,
some words along the left side of the page were cut off and were thus
determined from context.
Letter XI is listed as an entry in the Table of Contents. However,
the original text does not contain any document titled "Letter XI."
Four page numbers in the Table of Contents have been changed in this
ebook to accurately reflect the location of material in the text.
The following additional typographical corrections have been made
in this ebook:
Page ix: Added missing letter 'i' (sufferings)
Page 13: Removed duplicate word 'the' (six of the Corps)
Page 15: Changed Adout to About (About 300 of the Rebel Cavalry)
Page 28: Added missing letter 'f' (a steady friend)
Page 52: Removed duplicate prefix 'in-' (invulnerable commander)
Page 84: Removed duplicate word 'to' (to be their fixed purpose)
Page 89: Added missing letter 'b' (whose numbers had encreased)
