Présentation de l'éditeur
The following pages have occupied and amused the leisure of my winter evenings, in a dull uninteresting garrison on home service. I relate what I saw, thought, and felt, as a man, a traveller, and a soldier, during five interesting years. The style of a soldier can need no apology; it is beneath the notice of a scholar and the critic. We pass our lives in conversing with mankind; they in conversing with books. We only observe and draw hasty conclusions ;they observe, compare, and study. Ours is a life of action; theirs of repose. We write to amuse; they to instruct.
