Excerpt from Recollections of the Eventful Life of a Soldier
The ensuing narrative, from its outset to its close in 1814, embraces a period of about twenty-one years, fifteen of which relate to the author's boyhood, and the remain ing six to his career in the army. The only part of the soldier's story which begets a feeling of disappointment is its abrupt termination. The vicissitudes of' his subsequent career might have formed an interesting, though melan choly, sequel to the present volume. The few particulars we have gathered refer chiefly to that period of his life.
