[Footnote 102: The story, as told by the enemies of Tyrconnel, will be
found in the Macariae Excidium, and in a letter written by Felix O'Neill
to the Countess of Antrim on the 10th of July 1691. The letter was found
on the corpse of Felix O'Neill after the battle of Aghrim. It is printed
in the Rawdon Papers. The other story is told in Berwick's Memoirs and
in the Light to the Blind.]

of another nation," says Story. "The Irish were never known to fight

The narratives to which I have referred differ very widely from
each other. Nor can the difference be ascribed solely or chiefly to
partiality. For no two narratives differ more widely than that which
will be found in the Life of James, and that which will be found in the
memoirs of his son.]

In consequence, I suppose, of the fall of Saint Ruth, and of the absence
of D'Usson, there is at the French War Office no despatch containing a
detailed account of the battle.]
