Excerpt from Love Besieged: A Romance of the Defense of Lucknow We in England must never forget the fixed, immutable characteristics of the Indian race. It is well, therefore, that the memory of the past should not be allowed to die out. This end I have had in view in selecting the Siege of Lucknow as the background of a story in which an attempt has been made to picture the circumstances and conditions of the time, the character and methods of the mutineers, the in uence of caste, the treachery of which the native is capable and the loyalty which upon occasion he can show, and the heroism, the fortitude, the un inching devotion of the defenders. For colour I have gone to the pages of Mr Commissioner Gubbins, Major Wilson, Colonel Inglis, whose graphic accounts glow with actuality. Colonel S. B Malleson has, in his History of the Indian Mutiny, brought together most of the salient facts in connection with the siege, and Mr Archibald Forbes' account of the entry of the relief force under Havelock can scarcely be bettered. To the authors of Defence of Lucknow, by a Staff Officer, and A Lady's Diary of the Siege I am also under an obligation.
