PREFACE
In writing the following account of the Indian Mutiny operations, I have not attempted to discuss political measures which have already been dealt with by more practised writers than myself, but have merely endeavoured to verify, and in some cases to correct, the military narrative by my own personal recollections, and to present it to the public in an abridged and readable form. The helpful revision of the manuscript by Mr. Stephen Wheeler and the editor is entitled to my sincere acknowledgments.
