From the London Courant, January 1781. . . [9 paragraphs on
the barbarity of British soldiers in America] 
The custom of burning people alive in towns, villages,
houses, and barracks, is now become so familiar to the
British soldiery in North America, . . . while the pipe
played a particular tune, which is handed down to late
posterity, in commemoration of this glorious victory."
