Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Extraordinary Military Career of John Shipp, Late a Lieutenant in His Majesty's 87th Regiment, Vol. 1
Having thus, first, disclaimed all imten tion of boasting of my performances, or of holding myself up as a prodigy of valour, it becomes me next to declare that I do not pretend to afford the reader any import ant intelligence respecting our Indian pos sessions, either as regards statistics or po litics. Information on these subjects must be sought in the works of writers of far higher pretensions than the humble author of these Memoirs.
