Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of a Soldier's Life in India Before proceeding to relate the following incidents of a soldier's life in India, it may not be considered superfluous to offer a few remarks relative to my parentage, &c. My father, John Quinney, is a native of the county of Essex, England. He was a soldier in the Essex or Burgoyne's Light Dragoons, and proceeded with his regiment to Scotland about the year 1796. He was quartered for some time at Haddington, where he married my mother, a native of North Berwick, in the county of Haddington. He subsequently accompanied his regiment to Ireland at the time of the Rebellion, and at the close of that eventful period his regiment was disbanded. At the earnest entreaties of my mother he returned to Scotland, and took up his abode at North Berwick. I may here add that he never afterwards left Scotland, with the exception of about five years that he served in the Royal Navy, into which he was pressed at a time when men were much wanted. In the vicinity of the above mentioned little town I was born in the year 1807. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A True Sketch of His Army Life Our duties here were light, such as guard duty. Company roll was called five times a day. If a man failed to answer to his name he was marked for extra duty - fatigue duty - which was all sorts and kinds; not very laborious on those who were accustomed to labor at home. On Sunday morning we had to fall in for inspection. That meant every' thing a soldier had, his gun accoutrements, knapsack what he had in it and his tent. If any portion failed to pass inspection he had to make it so it would pass, if it was his brass plates on his accouterments, his gun, or even the brass buttons on his coat, for these were expected to shine as much as possible. At first many of the boys were rather negli gint about how they looked on inspection. But the lessons received we.e sufficient to make us all put on a good appearance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifteen Years in India: Or, Sketches of a Soldier's Life; Being an Attempt to Describe Persons and Things in Various Parts of Hindostan Arrowsmith's new map is now in such general circulation that it seems unnecessary to increase the expense of this work by adding a geographical sketch of India, containing the lines of march described by the author. All the principal places will be found in any of the large maps of Hindostan, by such readers as may be desirous of accompanying the writer through the different provinces he traversed. In spelling proper names of places and persons in India, more attention has been paid to the common way in which they are written by the English authorities in the country, than to any prescribed rule of orthography. As much accuracy as possible is aimed at, but it is presumed to be a matter of little consequence, whether the name of a particular province be written Guzerat or Gujrut.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Indian Officers, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrative of the History of the Civil and Military Service of India I think that something should be said regarding the circumstances, which have resulted in the publication of this book. Two or three years ago, I was invited by the editor and by the proprietor of Good Words to write a series of biographical papers illustrative of the careers of some of our most distinguished "Indian Heroes." As the materials, in most instances, were not to be obtained from printed books or papers, to perform this task in a satisfactory manner - that is, to write month after month, throughout the year, a memoir of some soldier or statesman distinguished in Indian history - would have been impossible to one, the greater part of whoso time was devoted to other duties, if it had not chanced that for many years I had been gathering, from different original sources, information relating both to the public sendees and the private lives of many of those whose careers it was desired that I should illustrate. I had many large manuscript volumes, the growth of past years of historical research, full of personal correspondence and biographical notes, and I had extensive collections of original papers, equally serviceable, which had not been transcribed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the Goorka War in India: In the Years 1814, 1815, 1816 A native soldier, of whatever rank, has no heroism, and he is ignorant of honour in every acceptation of the word. Without owing na tural allegiance, or having any incentive to serve os, less ignoble than his pay, he is in our hands no better thana living machine. What the men do not possess within themselves must be communicated by the officers: and to effect this important object an addition of Europeans to the native regiments is indispensable. We may consider an army as divided into two portions, the intellectual and the physical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Indian Officers, Vol. 3: Illustrative of the History of the Civil and Military Service of India; Major D'arcy Todd, Sir Henry Lawrence, General Neill, General John Nickolson Almost from his cradle, d'arcy had evinced, in his childish actions, the kindling of that martial enthusiasm which after wards so unmistakably developed itself. It is remembered that, when only two or three years old, he would march about the house drumming, and would convert all the chairs in the nursery into soldiers, or cannon, or other ih signia of war. In due time, however, he was sent by his uncle to school - first, to a preparatory seminary, kept by Miss Dawes, at Turnham Green, and afterwards to an academy at Ware, in Hertfordshire, where, although he developed no great amount of precocious genius, he made good progress, and took a respectable place in the school. He was always, indeed, fond of reading, and the books in which he most delighted were books of adventure, illus trative of self-help and self-reliance, or those which were largely tinged with the glowing imagery of the East. 'i have been reading Robinson Crusoe and the Tales of the Gem'i, ' he wrote to his brother Frederick, when he was ten years old. They have amused me very much. I hope that you love reading as I do, and also that you remember what you read.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
