PREFACE.

THESE Notes were not written with any intention of publishing them; but were merely entered in a book for the amusement of some relatives. The Author has not now either time or opportunity to correct or revise them, or even to read them over, as they are going by the present mail to England. Should the interest shown at home in one of the most perfect little armies that England ever possessed justify their publication, it is hoped this statement will save them from a very severe criticism.
