It is hoped that the circumstances under which this volume appearsmay be considered such as to excuse its imperfections. It is—withsome omissions and completions of sentences but with hardly a verbalalteration—the copy of a journal, not written with a view topublication but simply as a private record, kept up from time to timeas opportunity offered in the midst of the scenes which it describes.The hand that wrote it is now in the grave. And it is solely incompliance with the wishes of many relatives and friends who wereanxious to obtain such a memorial of one whom they loved, that it isnow committed to the press by a brother.
