 PREFArORT NOTE 
 
 HE following General Orders are 
 m a full transcript of a Ms. orderly 
 -^ book which recently came into my 
 possession. 'The manuscript belonged to the 
 regiment of General Phineas Lyman^ of 
 Connecticut^ one of the commanding officers in 
 the campaign against the French^ and a man 
 whose merits and sterling qualities were not 
 recognized by his English colleagues and 
 superiors. 'The credit that was owing to 
 him was given to others ; but a study of the 
 campaign of i/S^ shows how ably he per- 
 formed his part, and how much its success 
 depended upon his efforts. 
 
 We cannot seek in orderly books for 
 deeds of bravery ^ or incidents of battle ; but 
 we do find what is of equal interest — the 
 discipline of the camp and the punishment of 
 
wrong doing. 'The dry and somewhat color- 
 less record of the troops from day to day 
 becomes of value when the history of a com- 
 pany or of an army is to be written. Where 
 discipline is maintained and a proper care for 
 the health and morals of the men is bestowed^ 
 surely praise is due. In this light the orders 
 hold a high rank as authoritative records^ 
 and for this reason I have deemed them 
 worthy of publication.

 by Mr. Worthington C. Ford.
