THESE Reminiscences are submitted to the public in the trust that they will be welcomed alike by soldier and civilian. They are recorded by one who was him- self an actor in the scenes which he describes, and who viewed them from a novel and most unusual position for a military historian-the ranks.
They have been carefully perused by an officer who was present at many of the operations mentioned; and considerable pains have been taken to verify, wherever possible, those incidents of which he was not personally cognisant.
The interest of Mr. Forbes-Mitchell's straight- forward and soldier like story is enhanced by the coincidence that he takes up the pen where Lady Inglis laid it down; and it is hoped that this volume may prove an acceptable continuation of her touching Introduction Narrative of the Defence of Lucknow, and that, as a record of the Great Mutiny, it may furnish another thrilling chapter in that unparalleled story of suffering and of heroism,-of man's bravery and of woman's devotion.
