Excerpt from Scenes From the Life of a Soldier in Active Service

The narrative of Mr. Hacklander first appeared in the shape of letters, addressed from day to day, during the Italian campaign of 1849, to the Allgemez'ne Zeitung. In this anonymous and nu connected form it appeared to me worthy of communication to the English reader, and I had made some progress in collecting and translating the series, when the narrative reached me in the collective and completed shape in which it has been recently republished by its author; and from which the present translation has in consequence been prepared. I have taken some liberties in the omission of one or two oficial documents whicl'l have long been before the public, and of some other passages, for which, as also for occasional departures from literal and idiomatic accuracy of translation, I have to apologise to the author and possibly to my readers.
