Excerpt from Papers Illustrating the History of the Scots Brigade in the Service of the United Netherlands, 1572-1782, Vol. 2: Extracted by Permission From the Government Archives at the Hague; 1698-1782 The history of the Scots Brigade during the second century of its service in the Netherlands is not so picturesque and varied as during the period that opened under William the Silent, and closed under a later but scarce lesser William of the House of Orange.
