Excerpt from The Invasion of the Crimea, Vol. 3: Its Origin, and an Account of Its Progress Down to the Death of Lord Raglan
The accompanying Plans of the ground on which the
battle of the Alma was fought have been taken from the
Official French "Atlas Historique, but with slight changes
made here and there for the purpose of giving greater dis
tinctness to some of the natural features.
I may take this opportunity of saying that the object of
all the Plans of battles and other military operations con
tained in this and in the subsequent volumes is-not to
assert any facts thereby appearing to be indicated, but-
merely to aid the reader in bis endeavours to follow the
statements he finds in the text; and accordingly they are
not to be regarded as either reaffirming or varying the
printed words of the narrative.
For the sake of exactness, it may be right to say that the
words "Sixth Edition," appearing on the title-page, are not
applicable to the last 79 pp. of this volume.
