After a complete victory over Marshall Brown near the Capital on the 6th May

walls of the city for protection. The account below the engraving goes on to
record ...that on the 29th May at midnight, after a most dreadful storm of
thunder and rain, the Prussian army by the signal of a sky rocket, thrown up
for that purpose by the King's Battery, began to fire upon the town from one
battery on this side of the Moldau, and from three on the other. These
batteries continued firing incessantly till the 8th June, when the whole New
Town was reduced to one great heap of smoking rubbish and only a few houses
were left standing in the Jew's quarter. |
