To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He attended his chief to the meeting with Lord Hardinge and Lord Gough at Kussoor, and when Golab Sing placed himself at their Lordships' service, Gtirdiner did the same, and went on under his old colours to Lahore. With Maharajah Golab Sing he remained. He was sent up to Kashmir with Lumsden and Hodgson when they went by order of Sir Henry Lawrence to report on the fight between the Sikhs and Dogras. When Kashmir was cut off from the Punjab, and quietly handed over to Maharajah Golab Sing, Col...onel Gardiner remained Chief of Artillery to the Maharajah of Kashmir; and there he has been ever since. The vicissitudes of those years have been startling, but the old soldier has calmly survived them all. It will be seen that our story is but a bold outline of ad- ventures that ought to have a book to themselves, and it is to be regretted that the fuller papei*s entrusted to the late Mr. Cooper have not yet been made use of, and a more complete narrative been published of so extraordinary a career.
