His critical skill as a corrector of the press led literary men to submit to the correction of style; and such was the success of Mr Preston in the construction of language, that the most distinguished among them honoured him with their friendship, as presentation copies, now in his library, of Robertson, Hume, Gibbon, Johnson, and Blair, will bear testimony.

In 1746 he fought with his regiment at Culloden. In 1749, he was one of the storming party at the murderous encounter at Waal in Holland, where his regiment was nearly annihilated. His last appearance in the field of honour was in 1759, on the heights of Abram, where the immortal Wolfe breathed his mighty soul in the arms of victory. His strength was such, considering his great age, that he scarcely passed a day without walking three or four miles; and, to the day of his death, was able, without the aid of glasses, to read his Bible, which afforded him exquisite delight through a long course of years.
