The ensuing narrative, from its outset to its close in 1814, embraces a period of about twenty-one years, fifteen of which relate to the authors boyhood, and the remaining six to his career in the army. The only part of the soldiers story which begets a feeling of disappointment is its abrupt termination.

The few particulars we have gathered refer chiefly to that period of his life.

In 1815, he returned with his family to Glasgow, where he underwent various changes of fortune, more particularly adverted to in tbe narrative, which induced him to resume the uniform of a soldier.
