Abstract	A biographical sketch of Jeffery Amherst outlining his military career beginning with his commission in the army in 1731 and ending with his promotion to the rank of field marshal in July 1796. Although the writing is similar to other documents written by Amherst, it is not certain this document is in his hand. It appears a line was added to the beginning of the document at the time of Amherst's death. The content of the document may have been intended for publication by newspapers after Amherst's death.
