It is not too much to say that he was largely instrumental in averting war between Great Britain and Russia at the time of the Russo-Turkish war of 1878. It was a great opportunity for a young man and he did not fail to acquit himself with distinction. For the most part, however, this book is not so much his life story as a collection of odds and ends of a more or less anecdotal character and of no political importance - the product of miscellaneous experiences both at home and in the great Capitals of Europe, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Vienna. These are of special interest if only for the sake of comparison with conditions prevailing to-day. But perhaps what lends most charm to his narrative is the delightful mid-Victorian flavour which pervades the whole.'

In April 1809 Charles Stewart was made Adjutant General to Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) with the British forces fighting in the Peninsular War, a post in which he distinguished himself, particularly at the battles of Busaco and Talavera. He received the thanks of Parliament in 1810, and on 20 November 1813 was made Colonel of the 25th Light Dragoons, becoming a Knight of the Bath that same year.
