Excerpt from Travels in Sicily and MaltaHan there been any book in our language on the subject of the following letters, they never should have seen the light. The author wrote them for the amuse ment of his friends, and as an assistance to his memory and if it will in any de gree apologise for their imperfections, he can with truth declare that they never were intended for publication; nor, indeed, was that idea suggested to him till long after they were written. One principal motive. He will own, was the desire of giving to the world. And perhaps of transmitting to posterity, a monument of his friendship with the gentleman to whom they are addressed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
