When he remounted his horse, the head of col. Brienfield, his gentleman of the horse, was carried oil by a cannon ball while he held the duke's stir mp. Before the reinforcement arrived, the best part of the French mousquetaires were cut in pieces. All the troops posted in Ramillies were either killed or taken. The rest of the enemy's infantry began to retreat in toler able order, under cover of the cavalry on their left wing, which formed themselves in three lines between Ossuz and 'anderkirk: Out the English horse having found means to pass the rivulet which divided them from the enemy, fell upon them with such impetuosity, that they abandoned their foot, and were terribly slaughtered in the village of Ander kirk. They now gave way on all sides. The horse find three difi'erent ways: but were so closely pursued that very few escaped. The elector of Bavaria, and the mareschal de Villeroy saved themselves with the utmost dificulty. Several wagons of the enemy's vanguard breaking down in a narrow pass, obstructed the way ii such a manner, that the baggage and artillery could not proceed; nor could their tr00ps defile in order. The victorious horse being informed of this accident pressed on them so vigorously, that great numbers threw down their arms and submitted. The pursuit was followed through Judoigne till two o'clock in the morning, five leagues from the field of battle, and within two of Louvaine. In a word, the confederates obtained a complete victory. They took the enemy's baggage and artillery, about one hundred and twenty colours, or standards, six hundred officers, six thousand private soldiers; and about eight thousand were killed or wounded.'i Prince Maximilian and prince Monbason lost their lives: the major generals Palavicini and Mezieres were taken, together with the marquises de Bar, dc Nonant, and de la Beaume, this last the son of the mares'chal de Tallard, monsieur dc Montmorency, nephew to the duke of Luxembourg, and.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGeorge Fisher seeks the moral roots of America's antidrug regime and challenges claims that early antidrug laws arose from racial animus. Those moral roots trace to early Christian sexual strictures, which later influenced Puritan condemnations of drunkenness, and ultimately shaped the early American drug war. Early laws against opium dens, cocaine, and cannabis rarely rose from racial strife, but sprang from the traditional moral censure of intoxication and perceived threats to respectable white women and youth. The book closes with an examination of cannabis legalization, driven in part by the movement for racial justice.
