ABSTRACT

But if it may not be; if there is no prospect of your treading in person the blood-stained Valley of the Shadow of Death and the peaceful graves of the great departed, take up the story of Cawnpore, and when you have read it (and once commenced it will enthrall you to the end) enshrine in your heart each one and all of the noble band who fought, su ered, died, and were buried in and around this tragic, melancholy spot.
