Excerpt from An American Girl in London I have written this account only secondarily and at the instigation of publishers, for Americans. Primarily, I wrote it for the English people. I composed it in their country; it was suggested by their institutions, and it is addressed to them. You will see, if you read it, that I had reasons for doing this. The reasons are in the first chapter, at the very beginning. As you have not far to look for them, therefore, and as it is quite unnecessary to print a thing twice in the same book, I will not go over them again. The object of this preface is chiefly to draw your attention to the fact that I am not talking to you, dear compatriot, so that you will nu derstand that there is no personal ground for any annoyance you may feel at what I say.

Excerpt from A History of the American Revolution: Published in London Under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge Whilst the once persecuted Protestants thus gave a sad proof that their sufferings had not taught them mercy, it was reserved for a Roman Catholic nobleman to give to the new world a striking example of this happy docility.

Excerpt from Dates and Days in Europe: By an American Resident in London (1914-1915) Arriving in England during February, 1914, I stopped for a month in Dover and from there came up to London. I recall the early warmth and charm of that Spring and Summer which now seem very far away, and, with them, that sense of repose to which one who has lived - as have 1 - 3 rather long and busy life, feels, for some unexplained reason, entitled. Then, one August morning, there appeared a brief headline in the newspaper whose import every startled reader understood at a glance. There were only five words: Britain will not desert France, but they seemed to alter the aspect of the universe. Henceforth ease and repose, for the mind or for the body, might be suited to the inhabitants of some other planet, not, certainly, to those of our own.

Excerpt from Simsadus: London: The American Navy in Europe OW unfit and how unworthy a choice have I made of myself to undertake a work of this mixture, mine own reason though exceeding weak, hath sufficiently resolved me. Thus wrote Sir Wal ter Raleigh in the preface to his History of the World. By profession I am not an author nor a Naval Officer, and yet I have undertaken to write a brief narrative of the American Navy in Europe dur ing the Great War. Would that the talents of Sir Walter were at my command - but I shall mention him no further lest by drawing him into the matter I flatter myself. I can but thank him for the apt way in which he has expressed my sentiments. In these days of limitless rumors, twice-told tales of glory, startling revelations, hitherto undisclosed facts, and much misinformation, I hope this work will find a place. It is not official, and as sanction has not been sought, it is published without it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
