A portion of this force he placed under the command of the veteran La Motte. That distinguished campaigner had assured the commander-in-chief that the reduction of the city would be an easy achievement. Alexander soon declared that the enterprise was the most difficult one that he had ever undertaken.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
