Book Description
Excerpt from Into Morocco What I have to say requires a few words of preface, for which I may be pardoned, as it is my first offence in that line. I wish to say a few words of warning to the large number of people for whom my book was not written. No one need expect to find in it dissertations on the political condition of Morocco, on its future, or on what is to be done to bring it into harmony with the modern movement; in the first place, these considerations have no interest for me, and then, what is more important, my reflections, to what small extent they have been carried, are directly opposed to common sense. Circumstances gave me a close insight into the government of the country, and its court and harems, but I have been careful not to make my reflections public (while approving of everything in my inner consciousness), for fear of the brawlings that might arise among the witless.

Pages : 394
Book Description
Excerpt from Journey to Morocco: In 1826 My Dear Brother Officers, Permit me from feelings of personal attachment to you, and of pride at having been bred a soldier beneath the colours of so pre-eminently distinguished a corps as the Royal Welch Fusiliers, to dedicate to your friendly patronage the following pages. Convinced as I feel, of the reciprocity of our attachment, I shall, without awaiting your consent, present you with the first-born of my pen, though I do not require you, in your situation as godfathers, to be answerable for its errors, until its merits or demerits are confirmed by the public, or until it has arrived at years of discretion, and is fit to go alone; an indefinitude of age both in books and men, which would prove very detrimental to the peace of patrons and godfathers. As a soldier and a friend, I am, at all events, more likely to find favour in the eyes of my profession, as I trust your partiality will grant me many indulgencies, which I can hardly hope for from a more severe tribunal. But let my sentence in the court of criticism be what it may, it will be ample compensation for the pains of writing my journal to find that I have succeeded in pleasing you, though but a slight return for the many acts of kindness for which I must ever remain your insolvent, but truly attached and grateful debtor.
