Excerpt from Travels in England, France, Spain, and the Barbary States: In the Years 1813-14 and 15There is no apology due for writing a book of Travels, but there is for the introduction of subjects, which may be considered as irrelevant to the original object, and, that I may not be charged with an unnecessary detail of my oficial concerns while in the public service abroad, it may be well to explain the causes which induced me to send this book into the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
