Excerpt from Marlborough and the Rise of the British Army Editor of this series, Mr. H. W. C. Davis, for valuable criticisms and suggestions, and to the Earl Spencer, K. G., for kindly permitting the reproduction of the portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough from the Althorp collection. These have not pre viously been reproduced and Earl Spencer informs me that the portrait of the Duke is reported by tradition to have been that which the Duchess specially preferred.

Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 1: First Part; To the Close of the Seven Years' War Maps and plans have been a matter of extreme difficulty, owing to the inaccuracy of the old surveys and the disappearance of such fugitive features as marsh and forest. I have followed contemporary plans wherever I could in fixing the dispositions of troops, but in many cases I should have preferred to have presented the reader with a map of the ground only, and left him to fill in the troops for himself from the description in the text. Blocks of red and blue are pleasing indeed to the eye, but it is always a question whether their facility for misleading does not exceed their utility for guidance. Actual visits to many of the battlefields of the Low Countries, with the maps of so recent a writer as Coxe in my hand, did not encourage me in my belief in the system, although, in deference to the vast majority of my advisers I have pursued it.
