OR,
THE SCOTTISH MUSKETEERS.
BY
JAMES GRANT,
AUTHOR OF "ROMANCE OF WAR," "JANE SETON," &c. &c.
"'Tis a tale of campaigning, of love, and invading,
Of marches, of routes, bivouacs, enfilading;
Of batteries and breaches, howitzers and mortars,
Of posts and intrenchments; of in and out quarters;
Of advancing in line, by columns, divisions,
And fighting whole days without rum or provisions."
