The colonel's pages, at this point, are filled with digressions and dissertations on subjects somewhat miscellaneous Aberdeen pale ale the enormities of Warren Hastings' government the late James Prinsep and the moral precepts of the Rajah Piyâdâsee and a most incomprehensible rhapsody about "a red mustached member of the Bengal civil service," of which we profess ourselves utterly incompetent to make either head or tail, and strongly recommend the colonel to expunge it if the work reaches another edition.
