Book Description

Excerpt from Mr. Dunn Browne's Experiences in the Army If the cheerful humor of the book be varied now and then by an 'indignant protest against some abuse, - a grumble as he calls it, it will not be forgotten that there was occasion for it, and that it was for use, not for spleen; written for a public print, not muttered in the ranks for soldiers' discontent. Such protests of the army, heard at home, righted many a grievous wrong. In the preparation of the letters for the press, such typographical changes have been made as were needful; some paragraphs of a merely temporary or local interest have been omitted; and they have been thrown into the form of chapters; such dates only being preserved as are necessary for keeping in mind localities and the current of events. In each of these particulars, the example of the author him self in the publication of Dunn Browne Abroad has been followed.
