Reprint of the original, first published in 1865. A tale of the Crimean war.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Children of the Great King: A Story of the Crimean War The Lord is a great King. - Psa. xlvii, 2. "There is a family on earth Whose Father fills a throne; But, though a seed of heavenly birth, To men they're little known. But 'tis the King who reigns above That claims them for his own; The favored objects of his love, And destined to a throne." The spring months of the year 1854 were already passing away when our story commences. Dark lowered the clouds in the political sky of many nations of the earth at that time; wars a ad rumors of wars prevailed on all sides.
