This is the British General Abercrombie's account and is datelined: "Camp at Lake George, July 12, 1758". It contains much detail of his loss at the battle, despite his having 12,000 men against the French under General Montcalm having just 3000 men (see images for the full text).
Also included is: "A Description of Cherburg" which is accompanied by a foldout plate titled: "A Genuine Plan of Cherburg" which also includes an inset: "A Plan of Cherburg Before the Demolition of its Fortifications in 1689". This is the only plate called for.
