Excerpt from Incidents in the China War of 1860: Compiled From the Private Journals of General Sir Hope Grant, G. C. B., Commander of the English Expedition
This book has no pretensions to being a com plete history of the Expedition. As in the case of 'incidents in the Sepoy War,' the present diary was no after-thought composition. Day after day the events of the preceding twenty-four hours were committed to paper while fresh in the writer's memory.
