When Bourdaloue has made ey 
commander, whe had received thirteen wounds, and 
who, in almost every one of his numerous battles, had 
made many hair-breadth escapes, died at length tran- 
quilly at Vienna, on the 10th of April 1736, in’ the 
73d year of his age. He was found dead in his bed, 
after having retired in good health from entertaining 
company at supper; and was su to have been 
suffocated by an immoderate defluxion of rheum, to 
which he was ‘subject. Little remains to be remarked 
upon his character, in addition to what may be sug- 
— by the sketch of his history, and the extracts 
his private memoirs, which we have presented to 
our readers. In his military tactics he is considered as 
having frequently bordered rashness, and havin 
been generally too lavish of human blood. He ari 
distinguished for 1 courage, and for his coolness 
in the midst of dangers ; and he mentions two cireum- 
stances, from which he derived the enw advantages, 
viz. always reconnoitring if possible in person, an

He has been y commended for his generous dis- 
position ; for the-ease with which he descended to an 
equality with those who conversed with him ; for his 
unaffected modesty, which prevented him from ‘assu- 
ming any over others, and which rendered him 
unable to bear, with any tolerable grace, the just ac+ 
know ts which were paid to his merits. See
