Excerpt from Letters From Khartoum: Written During the SiegeI have said the letters are free from any literary pretensions. Written for his home circle only some of them in illness, some of them piecemeal and at intervals between daily duties, some of them in hurried moments to catch an unexpected post - they are naturally careless in style. Then so thoughtful of those at home was he, so ever present were they in his mind, that in many of his letters allusions to home and to us all are so intermixed (by comparisons With things in our knowledge only or otherwise) with the descriptive matter that in omitting these the continuity of the letters is broken, and they appear much more disconnected than they really were in their entirety.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
