The authors of this work have endeavoured to leave no source of information neglected. Various portions of the subject with which it deals have been treated in the works of Captain J. D. Cunningham, Sir W. W. Hunter, Mr. Marshman, Sir Herbert Edwardes, and others; and in such biographies of the principal figures in the story as have been published from Banjit Singh to the Lawrences. Bluebooks and dispatches are necessary to the historian, though not always consulted by the picturesque story-teller. At the time of the two great campaigns, numerous letters and articles appeared in the press and the magazines, the work, occasionally, of men who knew more than they told, but not less often of men who told more than they knew. That some erroneous ideas on the whole subject should have become prevalent, and threaten to be stereotyped is, perhaps, natural; the more so, no doubt, because Lord Oough made a point, not only of refusing to answer his critics in the press, but of forbidding his friends to do it for him. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
