Excerpt from A Memoir of Major-General Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Bart;, K. C. B., F. R. S., D. C. L., F. R. G. S., &C

Some apology is perhaps due to the public for the late appearance of this work, which was promised to them in 1894, on the death of its subject. But the materials from which it had to be composed were left in so fragmentary and so confused a condition, and the writing was, in many cases, so faded, that a longer time was required for their decipherment and rearrangement than for the actual writing of the Memoir. The mass of papers to be examined was enormous; to a large extent they were confused and intermixed; the handwriting was often so minute as to require the use of a powerful magnifier; and in some cases it was absolutely illegible. These facts necessitated a considerable delay, while the author's other employments and avocations did not leave him very much leisure time for literary labour. Some further delay was caused by the inability of Lord Roberts, owing to a pressure of business in his department, to furnish the chapter which he had promised by way of Introduction to the Memoir, and which it was felt that the work would be incomplete without.
