Excerpt from Rough Notes of the Campaign in Sinde and Affghanistan, in 1838-9: Being Extracts From a Personal Journal Kept While on the Staff of the Army of the Indus
Circumstances have induced me to consent to the printing of the following rough notes from my journal during the late Campaign in Sinde and Aff ghanistan. I presume not to attempt a narrative of the great Military operations, or to describe minutely the countries and people which our arms have sub dued. All this I leave to abler authors, whose works will, I doubt not, in due time, be submitted to the judgment, and for the information of the public, while this volume, which consists chie¿y of perso nal details, has been printed simply for the perusal of those valued friends, to Whom it will be present ed, and to whom it is accordingly offered as a token of my thankfulness for the warm and continued interest which they have evinced in my proceedings during the period I served in the Army of the Indus. With the View of illustrating my journal, and to compensate in some measure for its barren ness in details of general interest, I have directed the chief public papers referring to the Campaign, to be embodied in an Appendix.
