History of the Siege of Delhi #250279

The great bulk of the volume is written out of the manuscript notes of the author, who had the honour of being mesent during the whole of the siege opera tions. He was an eyewitness of almost every battle descfibed; went over the ground into the batteries talked with the soldiers, European and native sifted accounts on the spot; and spent all his spare time in realising and recording the great events he witnessed. Those in the Punjaub and at Meerut are described from private sources, as letters and oral information when from printed books the reference is given.
