Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Under Crescent and Star The first edition of this book was published without any preface, but the second seems to require an introduction, if only to reply to one or two of my critics where a reply seems necessary. The press has received this record of recent Egyptian history so very favourably that there is not, however, very much that demands notice. One journal - and only one - a London weekly, animadverted somewhat severely upon my remarks about the Irish Reserve men of 1882, saying - "Now, if all that is set down here be true, our service, as regards its Irish regiments, must be in a bad way, unless - which is not at all probable - the state of things has marvellously altered in the last twelve years. If, on the other hand, there is exaggeration or extravagance about the language used, then a gallant regiment and a fine body of men have been grossly libelled."
