Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outram Havelock's Persian Campaign I have endeavoured to draw up from the works of the most trustworthy authorities, a summary of its history in both ancient and modern times. To this is added an account of various differences between England and Persia, and an inquiry into the origin of the late war. With respect to the latter, my object has been to furnish the reader with an accu rate relation of facts, and I have therefore abstained from expressing opinions. That the Government embarked rashly in the conflict, without the sanction of Parliament - and that they accepted, after what was termed a suc cessful campaign, conditions of peace less favourable than those offered at Constanti n0ple previous to the outbreak of hostilities cannot be denied. These matters have, how ever, been fully discussed in the columns of the different newspapers of the day; and in these pages will be found a simple record of the facts as they are set forth in the papers laid before the British Parliament.
