"From the Windows of the Mail Coach" subject of George the Third, who looked on Saratoga as the scene of a British defeat rather than of an American victory. His remarks on the Battle of Bunker Hill, however, exhibit a more than generous attitude towards the American rebels: "The ad- rnirable defence of this little eminence is a proof that men when engaged in a just cause, although raw & undisciplined, are equal to the best troops, even under experienced generals, when oppression actuates them."

There he remained until the following June, except for a three week excursion to Georgia in February.
