Excerpt from The Life of General H. Havelock, K. C. B Esq., a memoir may be looked for, as soon as there has been an opportunity of obtaining the necessary documents, and submitting them to the deliberate investigations which their impor tance will require. Some time - perhaps a twelvemonth - must elapse on account of the length of the period which the memoir will em brace, and of the carefulness with which the voluminous materials must be examined and employed. Both of these gentlemen being brothers-in-law of Havelock, this announcement by the latter would naturally arrest any inclina tion on the part of others to write his bio graphy. A twelvemonth was certainly the shortest time in which the materials could be collected and arranged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
