Excerpt from Marmaduke, Emperor of Europe: Being a Record of Some Strange Adventures in the Remarkable Career of a Political and Social Reformer Who Was Famous at the Commencement of the Twentieth Century

Let it be distinctly understood that I emphatically disclaim any responsibility for either the merits or demerits of the extraordinary narrative given in the following pages.

I regard myself as a mere conduit, through which flows to the public a stream of literary matter, which the said public, at its good-will and pleasure, may consider good, bad, indifferent, or a combination of all three.

Whether I am right or wrong in making such a disclaimer of responsibility, you, sir or madam, will be able to decide after I have related how the manuscript of this curious history came into my possession, and after you have perused the history aforesaid.
