Excerpt from Lucknow and Oude in the Mutiny: A Narrative and a Study
This account of the part played by Lucknow and Oude in the Bengal mutiny is not meant to be anything more than what it is called - a narrative and a study; and it has been written with the desire to show, in their true pro portion and colour, some of the important points of that convulsion and contest; including its antecedents, its characteristics and its issues, as well as its actual incidents.
Much of what I have recorded came within my own personal knowledge but the book is not an account of my private experiences or reminiscences, except to the extent requisite to support or illustrate my various statements and views. And I entirely disclaim for it the title of History, which would demand a completeness of narrative, and a fullness of details in incidents and personal references that I have not attempted, and that would have tended to interfere with the clearness that I have aimed at in the narrative and the argument.
In order to show the relative share that Oude and Lucknow had in the conflict generally, I have included a brief sketch of the Mutiny as an introduction, deal ing with its origin and development, as well as with its course.
