The following sentence in the article "According to a letter from the headquarters of Cromwell, he seized the bridge of Stirling while in treaty with Argyll" is source from: Rushworth, pt. iv. vol. ii. p. 1276. This cannot be correct as Rushworth's Historical Collections only go up to August 1648 and the battle was in September 1648. Also having checked both parts and volumns iv and ii, those volumes cover completely different periods of history and the information is not there. No volumes of Rushford's work even go up to a page 1276.QuintusPetillius (talk) 21:01, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure where you were looking, but I had no trouble finding Pt. IV, Vol. II, page 1276: [1]. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:05, 20 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
