Excerpt from Havelock's March on Cawnpore, 1857: A Civilian's Notes The chapters forming this volume were contributed by me to Colonel F. C. Maude's "Memories of the Mutiny, " which appeared early in 1894 They were founded on part of a series of letters descriptive of life in the North-Western Province of India, and of my experiences there, which were written at the suggestion of Sir Charles Lawson, and published by him in The Madras Mail, of which he was then the editor, and, as now, principal proprietor. The high price of Colonel Maude's illustrated work placed it beyond the reach of some who might otherwise have wished to possess it, though it was, of course, obtainable at public and mess libraries, and received unusual notice from the press. Its copyright belongs solely to Mr. John Macqueen, the publisher, of Norfolk Street, Strand, and as he has apparently no immediate intention of issuing a cheap edition of the "Memories, " he has very courteously allowed me to republish my portion of the work separately, and it now appears under this permission, and with the full knowledge and good wishes of Colonel Maude.
