« The following Journal is principally composed of extracts from my letters written from the Crimea to Lady G. Paget. It has no pretension further than to record such facts as came under my own observation, and the feelings with which I regarded the different events as they occurred. It was not originally intended for publication, it being obvious that mine was not a position to command any special information relating to the war, or to enable me to throw any new light on the subject. But inasmuch as any one who was on the spot must be cognisant of many local incidents observed perhaps only by himself, so each fresh account may have, in many respects, such an interest of its own, as to warrant the eyewitness recording it, provided that he confines himself to such, and does not treat of matters which more properly belong to the historian. This course it has been my endeavour to pursue, whilst giving a detailed and carefully considered account of the several actions in which it was my good fortune to be engaged. » Présentation de l’éditeur (1881)
