Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How We Got Into Pekin: A Narrative of the Campaign in China of 1860
If offence should be given to any person by any thing which is here related, my apology is that it was utterly unintentional.
My narrative has been written without much arrangement or plan; in part, because for this purpose moments were taken from days of anxious occupation, when I was obliged to be contented to put down the recollections that came unbidden at such times; and all who have been in China can testify that the climate often renders it necessary to do as you can, rather than as you would.
