Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Algeria During the Kabyle War Meeting one day with a French oficer of some standing, whom I had previously known in the East during the Russian campaign, I received an in vitation to him in Algeria, whither he was ordered. An expedition for the final subjugation of Kabylia was talked of. Here then was an op portunity, such as I had long sought for, and might never meet with But permission had to be obtained from the French Minister at War, and it was in vain I solicited that permission, though backed by the recommendation of Lord Cowley and the British Embassy. How I besieged Marshal Vaillant, and how I totally failed in moving him to grant me permission to accompany the French invading column, - how, through the kindness of the Chief of the Staff in Algeria, I partially succeeded, would afford little interest to the reader.
