Excerpt from A Few Months in the EastTo more than one kind friend I am greatly indebted for several corrections and valuable suggestions, and, at their recommendation, I have omitted or abridged much which might have pleased my immediate and personal friends, but could not have interested the general reader.The lithographs have been executed in Montreal by Mr. Little of N otre-dame street, and speak for themselves, they are taken from drawings (the one of Jerusalem excepted) which have never been published, and were presented by kind friends.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
