Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Major-General Sir Henry Marion Durand, Vol. 1 of 2
I publish the Memoir, therefore, with the consciousness that it has been both long delayed and hastily written, and with the further sense that in some respects the story of a man's life can hardly fail to sn'fier from being told. By his son. For various reasons it is impossible in such a case to write with freedom; and, of course, however hard a writer may try to be truthful and tem perate, he cannot expect any one to regard him as impartial. I can only hope that in spite of all shortcomings on my part, those who read the book may be able to find in it sufficient material for forming a just estimate of my father's character and services.
