ABSTRACT
After the convention he never appeared on the theatre of action: but yet assisted in contriving all the plans of operation that were laid down for bringing the war to a speedy conclusion: for by his advice five regiments were raised from among the Scots Highlanders, one of which was committed to Simon Frazer, eldest son of Lord/Lovat, whose whole life was one continued scene of contradiction and impropriety. The empire of Germany, from the time of the King of Prussia's irruption into Saxony, which had been twice conquered, and twice regained in the course of three years, was in the most dismal situation. So large a subsidy, and his late successes, impowered him to send Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick with a detachment of 20,000 men into Hanover to cover Saxony on that side, and to watch the motions of the French, whom he now considered as his enemy.
