text_original: Day was dawning as the majority of his forces formed upon the Heights of Abraham. It was six in the morning before Montcalm's irregulars were upon the field, and nine o'clock before the French army was in position for ac  tion. At ten o'clock the battle began. It did not last very long. Whether the French were utterly disheart  ened or not by the appearance so unexpectedly of the VOL. II. — 13 290 A BISTORT OF THE FOUR GEORGEa GH.XL. English on the ground which they had deemed unassaila  ble, certain is it that they made a poor fight of it.
