Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Todleben's History of the Defence of Sebastopol, 1854-5: A Review
Publication at the present day would necessarily be limited. Meantime, the actual substance of the Russian account is laid before my readers in the following pages. In the Review, I sought to give an idea of what our Author said, rather than to criticise his statements or to controvert his facts. I have been led to add a few com. Ments in the present volume to the matter which appeared in the first instance without note or remark, because I considered it expedient to cor rect assertions which I knew to be erroneous or unjust, as regarded our portion of the Allied armies. I may be pardoned for drawing atten tion to the remarkable corroboration afforded to the statements of those anonymous and some what discredited correspondents, who described the events of the famous campaign'in the Crimea as they occurred at the time, by the matured history of the siege which has been prepared by the illustrious defender of Sebastopol.
