THE
WAR IN SYRIA.
ADVERTISEMENT.
In giving an account of the War in Syria, Ihave endeavoured to state the facts as theyoccurred, of most of which I was an eye-witness.The Levant Papers have furnishedme with much useful information, and I haveendeavoured to make no statements that cannotbe borne out either by them or by documentsin my own possession.
In writing a work of this kind I havebeen obliged to publish letters and extracts ofletters from these Papers, in order to save thereader the trouble of examining them, and,indeed, it is not in the power of the public toget hold of Parliamentary Papers without aserious expense; this I trust will be a sufficientexcuse for the numerous documents thatI have thought it necessary to give.
May, 1842.
