MAJOR E. NAPIER,

46TH REGIMENT.

"Seriously, that same shooting is a most barbarous amusement, only fit for majors in the
army, and royal dukes, and that sort of people; the mere walking is bad enough, but em-
barrassing one's arms, moreover, with a gun, and one's legs with turnip tops-exposing oneself
to the mercy of bad shots and the atrocity of good-seems to me only a state of painful fatigue,
enlivened by the probability of being killed."— Sir E. L. Bulwer's PELHAM.
