RECOLLECTIONS
OF THE
EVENTFUL LIFE OF A SOLDIER.
BY THE LATE
JOSEPH DONALDSON,
SERGEANT IN THE NINETY-FOURTH SCOTS BRIGADE.
‘I will a round unvarnish’d tale deliver—
Of moving accidents by flood and field,
Of hair-breadth ’scapes i’ the imminent deadly breach,
And with it all my travel’s history.’
Shakspeare.
‘The romance of real life certainly goes beyond all other romances.’
Miss Edgeworth.
