THE publication of this volume has been postponed to afford time for the collection of materials for a more complete Life of General Havelock than has yet appeared. Many valuable documents, in reference more particularly to the campaign of 1857, have only been received from India during the present year; and the compiler is not without hope of obtaining a farther accession of information, which may serve to increase the interest of this Memoir. A work of this description, however, published on the sole responsibility, as regards facts and opinions, of one who has not the advantage of military experience, will stand in need of no small indulgence from professional critics, and he trusts that he will not solicit it in vain.
