Reminiscences Of Captain Gronow

Reminiscences Of Captain Gronow is a memoir written by Captain Rees Howell Gronow, a British officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars and the Crimean War. The book provides a first-hand account of life in the British army during the 19th century, including detailed descriptions of battles, military campaigns, and social events. It also includes personal anecdotes and observations about the people and places Gronow encountered during his military career, including notable figures such as the Duke of Wellington and Queen Victoria. The book is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the experiences of a British soldier during a pivotal period in European history.""Monk"" Lewis, unable to stand against the outcry thus raised against him, determined to try the effects of absence, and took his departure for the island in which his property was; but unfortunately for those who dissented from the ferocious judgment that was passed upon him, and for those who had discrimination enough to know that after all there was nothing very objectionable in his romance, and felt assured that posterity would do him justice, this amiable and kind-hearted man died on his passage out; leaving a blank in one variety of literature which has never been filled up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
