Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Denounced Or, the Last Baron of Crana
In his front, which fully occupied an unequal and broken hill, stretched a hog, scarce passable: his right was strongly entrenched; his left rested on the castle of Aughram. The cavalry of William repeatedly failed in their attempts to force either of the two last-mentioned points; and his infantry were equally successful in trying to shake the former.
As twilight drew on, Ginkle prepared to pause or to retire; but a second and more fortunate thought prompted him to order a fresh assault, covered and supported by field-pieces, upon the Irish right. His historians say, that it was not without the most surprising efforts of courage and perseverance they at length obliged the enemy to give ground, who, even then, lost it by inches. St. Rothe detached succours from his centre and his left to assist the disputed point. His an tagonist, observing this movement, ordered the positions so weakened to be also attacked, and again the battle became general.
