Note 175 — Chapter VIII · The End of the First Civil War.
Reading edition
The above quotation is given in "C.W.T.," p. 211; but other papers contain more particulars. Vide "Kingdom's Weekly Intelligencer," Dec. 2-9; "Scottish Dove," Dec. 3-10; and "Moderate Intelligencer," Dec. 4-11. The first of these contains the statement of the deficiency of bread being the final cause of surrender, adding also, "Those in the House had for about six weeks past drunk nothing but water." The details of capture of arms and ammunition are variously given.
