Context

“Illustrations by A. Frederics. BRISTOL J. W. Arrowsmith, 11 Quay Street LONDON Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Limited
1889 All Rights Reserved PREFACE. The chief beauty of this book lies not so much in its literary style, or in the extent and usefulness of the information it conveys, as in its simple truthfulness. Its pages form the record of events that really happened. All that has been done is to colour them; and, for this, no extra charge has been made. George and Harris and Montmorency are not poetic ideals, but things of flesh and blood—especially George, who weighs about twelve stone.” source
