TITLE OF THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT.

Historical Diary of the Siege of Orleans by the English;
begun on Tuesday the 12th day of October, 1428:
Charles VII., King of France, then reigning. With
an account of all the Sallies, Assaults, Skirmishes,
and other notable particulars, which occurred from
day to day; with the arrival of Jeanne La Pucelle,

and how, by Divine grace, and by force of arms,
she caused the Siege to be raised by the English.
Taken verbatim, and the style preserved as much
as possible in this translation, from the Original
Manuscript, written on parchment during the Siege,
and preserved in the town-house at Orleans.
