 Cmtaining — Sketches of Commanding Officers — The Art of getting Leave of 

 Absence — Military Miseries — Glossary, SfC. 



"I have also added, for the information of those non-military readers who may deign 

 to peruse this small volume, a Glossary of those exclusively military terms, they might 

 othcL'wise be at a loss to comprehend ; and which, the profound ignorance that great 

 part of the world are in with respect to military matters, renders it most necessary to 

 explain : — for instance, I assure my readers, that the other night when I was dining 

 out, an old gentleman asked me whether the officers who were on guard in London, on 

 the day of the Derby, did not receive a compensatory pension from government; nay, 

 so firmly convinced was he that such was the case, that I had some difficulty in per- 

 suading him that his impression on the subject was erroneous." — Preface.

HISTORICAL UECORD

ROVAI. nfXAXlINE FORCES 



From their Formation to the Present Time, 



INCLUDING 



AN ACCOUNT OF THEIR SERVICES IN CHINA, 



BY P. H. NICOLAS, 



LIEUT. ROYAL MARINES. 



" Mr. Nicolas has had a wide and fertile field to work upon, and excellently has he 

 turned his materials to account. Impelled by a sincere attachment for bis old com- 

 ^des, by an ardent desire for their welfare, by the very natural wish for a more minute 

 and connected narrative of their daring career than has hitherto been given to the 

 world, he has produced a luminou» and comprehensive work, than which none can be 

 better of its class, and which reflects equal credit upon his feelings as an officer, and 

 his talents as a writer." — United Service Gazette. 



. " These volumes cannot fail to prove eminently acceptable to the members of the 

 gallant corps, whose honours they record, and generally indeed to the military service 

 of both arms." — Naval and Military Gautte.
