Excerpt from Delhi Past and Present: With Maps and IllustrationsThe Delhi series of the papers of the Mutiny of 1857, published under the editorship of Mr E. Forrest, from which I have taken, and to which I owe, much, has allowed of the preparation of anarrative of these events which, I think, will be found in some respects more correct than any hitherto published. As will be seen from the text, I have left the Narrative of Lieutenant Norman (now field-marshal Sir Henry Norman, to speak for itself regarding the Siege and Assault of Delhi, but additional informa tion has been added from Lord Roberts' forty-one Years in India Captain J. G. Medley's A Year's Campaigning in India Colonel Vibart's Sepoy Mutiny and from other original works, including the Diary of jiwan La], edited by the late Mr C. Metcalfe, relating to Delhi in 1857, and certain original reports and other papers from the above series have been added to the Narrative. One of the most interesting of these reports is the record of the Proceedings of the Trial of the ex-king of Delhi.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
