Excerpt from Two Years in China: Narrative of the Chinese Expedition, From Its Formation in April, 184, to the Treaty of Peace in August, 1842, With an Appendix, Containing the Most Important of the General Orders Despatches Published During the Above Period The following work was planned and executed during a passage of six weeks between the ports of Hong-Kong and Madras, in those hours which the author could snatch from his professional engagements, and at a period when he laboured under repeated and severe attacks of sickness. His aim throughout has been to produce a simple and correct narrative of events, and in this he trusts that he has succeeded. The chief portion of the work has been compiled from notes taken by himself at the period of the occurrence of the scenes detailed.
