* Battle of Oudenarde
* War of Spanish Succession
Most of the ftpg. is taken up with: "By the Queen, A Proclamation" which concerns: "An Act to Encourage the Trade to Newfoundland..." with much detail.
But the more desirable content is a very detailed account of the Battle of Oudenarde. This was a battle in the War of the Spanish Succession fought on July 11, 1708 between the forces of Great Britain, the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire on the one side and those of France on the other. It took place at Oudenaarde (now in Belgium) and was a great victory for the allies.
This report begins on the ftpg., takes all of page 2 and over half of page 3.
Four pages, 7 1/4 by 11 3/4 inches.
