N. B. As there are several errors in this description I shall tomorrow point out such of them as I know.
JQA concludes his copying from Guthrie, Geographical Grammar
, with the section on the history of the seventeen provinces, which covers nearly five pages in the Diary. To this he has added a list of towns and provinces in the Netherlands retained by the French as provided in the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, 1748 (p. 411–412, 408).
