Thismap represents the troops as they were at three distincttimes on December iSth—namely, at noon, i p.m., and5 p.m. I have, therefore, made three copies, plates V, VI,and Vn, in which I have put down matters as they wereat such three times—viz., noon, i p.m., and 5 p.m. Onthese plans I have corrected Johnstones title of CliftonHall to Clifton Moor. The editor of the Chevaliers Memoirs makes noattempt to explain the Chevaliers map or to reconcile itwith his text. The next plan (plate IV) is entitled A plan of theBattle of Clifton Moor, and represents matters at 3 p.m. * Memoirs of the Relrtlioii in 1745, 1746, by the Chevalier de Johnstone.
