Excerpt from The Life and Services of General Lord Harris, G. C. B : During His Campaigns in America, the West Indies and India
In the following pages I propose to lay before the reader a memoir of the life and services of the late Lord Harris. Before I went to India in 1827 it appeared to me, after an intimate knowledge of his conduct and character during thirty years, that an accurate and simple detail of his actions and motives, through a long and eventful career, might gratify and stimulate the best feelings of those who are proud to have sprung from him, and of many others who aspire to be the artificers of their own fortune and fame by honest and honourable means.
Influenced by these feelings, I often requested that he would write down the particulars of some important acts of his life, which his modesty had long restrained him from communicating even to the members of his own family.
