Excerpt from Glimpses Through the Cannon-Smoke: A Series of Sketches I have certain compunctions of conscience as to the title under which this little volume goes out to take its chance. It may be thought to have rather a. Lurid aspect of sensationalism: but there is nevertheless some fitness in it. I have spent the last decade almost wholly in campaigning, and have witnessed the cannon smoke almost as often as I have seen the peaceful smoke from the domestic grate. My poor pen has been mostly engaged in efforts to describe military opera tions, - marches, battles, concentrations, and retreats. But intervals have occurred which I have humbly tried to utilize by work that is free at least from the fresh smell of burning powder; and it is some of that work which I have gathered up out of odd comers, and brought together in this little volume. I h0pe that work would have been better if it had not been in its nature so desultory; but there is this to be said for it.
