EBOOK
About
Excerpt: Fortunate enough to enjoy good libraries and plenty of leisure; two advantages which a soldier on ser vice seldom experiences. But this I cannot help. Such as they are, I offer him my unadorned notes; and perhaps he will be good enough to let one thing compensate another, and to recollect that if the style of the book is different from what he sometimes sees, yet the scenery is so too. If in stead of a poetical composition he gets a straight forward story, yet instead of the Rhine or the Lakes.
