Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of the Campaign of Sebastopol But when it is considered that men in authority do not always look with a very friendly eye on the mere possession of opinions on their conduct of public affairs, it may be supposed that to express them critically might, especially when they implied cen sure, be anything but an assistance to the critic in his military career. Moreover, there are many cases in which it is the bounden duty of an officer to refrain from publishing facts or opinions which might be prejudicial to the prestige or success of our arms to a great extent, therefore, the reader is left to make his own comments on facts which I have been careful to verify and combine in a sequence which should exhibit only the significant features of the Campaign.

Book Description
Excerpt from General Todleben's History of the Defence of Sebastopol, 1854-5: A Review Publication at the present day would necessarily be limited. Meantime, the actual substance of the Russian account is laid before my readers in the following pages. In the Review, I sought to give an idea of what our Author said, rather than to criticise his statements or to controvert his facts. I have been led to add a few com. Ments in the present volume to the matter which appeared in the first instance without note or remark, because I considered it expedient to cor rect assertions which I knew to be erroneous or unjust, as regarded our portion of the Allied armies. I may be pardoned for drawing atten tion to the remarkable corroboration afforded to the statements of those anonymous and some what discredited correspondents, who described the events of the famous campaign'in the Crimea as they occurred at the time, by the matured history of the siege which has been prepared by the illustrious defender of Sebastopol.

Excerpt from The Story of the Campaign: A Complete Narrative of the War in Southern Russia, Written in a Tent in the Crimea In another letter dated, Camp before Sebastopol, Dec. 7th, he writes Several days that I have set apart for writing up, have been spent in the saddle. Could I have managed it, you should have had the account Of the battle Of the 5th but the divisions Of the army are scattered at such a distance from me several miles - that I have been unable to collect the information necessary for accuracy in describing the events Of the day, and I was too much Occupied myself to see all that passed, being in the thick of it, as you will believe when I will tell you that my horse, receiv ing three wounds, was killed by a cannon-shot, which passed through him behind my leg; and a poor sergeant, in the act of extricating me, had his thigh carried away by another. It was a gloomy but a glori ous business. The cannonade, far more tremendous than at Alma, lasted, almost without intermission, for more than nine hours.

Book Description
Excerpt from Whom Shall We Hang?: The Sebastopol Inquiry Purpose of protecting Turkey and of compelling Russia to abandon pretensions which natural justice and the true policy of the Western Powers alike condemned. In this country, even more than among our allies, the war was highly popular. The nation which the rest of the world regarded as wholly absorbed in the sordid pursuit of wealth, was more clamorous for the fray than the people who are commonly considered as pre-eminently martial. Certainly, whatever might be the claims of commerce and of the arts of peace upon as, they were forgotten in the dreams of military glory, and in the indignation at oppression which swelled the popular cry to arms; and the few voices that were raised to give warning of the sufferings which the victors must share with the vanquished, were unheard or disregarded.
