Sinossi
Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 3 of 4: From the Revolution to the Death of George the Second; Designed as a Continuation of Mr. Hume's History
I. IN the beginning of April, the duke of Cum berland began his march from Aberdeen, and on the twelfth passed the deep and rapid river Spey, without opposition from the rebels, though a detachment of them appeared on the opposite side. Why they did not dispute the passage is not easy to be conceived: but, indeed, from this instance of neglect, and their subsequent conduct, we may conclude they were under a total infatuation. His royal highness proceeded to Nairn, where he received intelligence, that the enemy had advanced from Inverness to Culloden, about the distance of nine miles from the royal army, with intention to give him battle. The design of Charles was to march in the night from Culloden, and surprise the duke's army at daybreak: for this purpose the English camp had been reconnoitred; and on the night of the fifteenth the High land army began to march in two columns. Their design was to surround the enemy, and attack them at once on all quarters: but the length of the columns embarrassed the march, so that the army was obliged to make many halts the'men had been under arms during the whole preceding night, were faint with hunger and fatigue, and many of them overpowered with sleep. Some Were unable to pro ceed; others dropped off unperceived in the dark and the. March was retarded in such a manner, that it would have been impossible to reach the duke's camp before sunrise.
