Excerpt from Journals of Sieges, Vol. 3 of 3: Carried on by the Army Under the Duke of Wellington, in Spain, During the Years 1811 to 1814; With Notes and Additions, Also Memoranda Relative to the Lines Thrown Up to Cover Lisbon in 1810
The following Memoranda contain a portion of the ten sheets which the Author deemed it right to withdraw from the second edition of the "Journals of Sieges," in consequence of a military force being sent to Lisbon at the moment of their being printed.
These Memoranda were originally drawn up with the view of making known to those who had not the opportunity of personal inspection, the nature and extent of the defences created to cover Lisbon. They are now distributed with the same view; and if they prove useful to any brother officer seeking professional information, the writer will consider himself well repaid for the trouble of extracting them from his notes.
