Book Description
Excerpt from Twelve Months With the Bashi-Bazouks I don't like a preface to a book. In the first place, if a work of fiction, the fact of impressing on the reader's mind that what follows never did occur, and is merely the result of the author's fertile brain; is, to say the least of it, not the best way to create an interest. Secondly, if, as in this case, it is not fiction but facts to be related, let them speak for themselves, and the book stand or fall by its own merits: no preface ever made a bad work popular; a good one never failed for the want of it. As therefore I feel sure no object will be answered by writing one, I shall not attempt it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Publisher: Univ of California Press
