	Gentleman's Magazine 1745 p.675 (see p.605 F) in private letters from thence, the writers of them mutually excusing their friends, and charging others with the whole blame, and even with cowardice. A time may come when it will be more easy to discover the truth, or at least more proper to publish these varying accounts. This city was surrender'd to the rebels Nov. 16, 1745, and taken by his royal highness the D. of Cumberland, after 48 hours battering the West curtain of the castle from Primrose Hill, on Dec. 30, about 400 rebels left there, on the precipitate retreat of the main body to Scotland, surrendering to the king's mercy. The map is a copy of John Speed's map, 1611.
