Synopsis

Excerpt from Narrative of Edward McGowan, Including a Full Account of the Author''s Adventures and Perils While Persecuted by the San Francisco Vigilance Committee of 1856, Together With a Report of His Trial, Which Resulted in His Acquittal

The narrative OF edward ''mcgowan needs no introduction, or foreword: it is so well known to collectors of Californiana, and to old Californians, especially San Franciscans, that all that is meces cessary to be stated in presenting a new edition thereof is, what has been done by the printer and publisher in the reprinting.

N O attempt was made to edit the work, nor was there any dispo sitiou to do so, or to make any changes from the original. Most of the problems arising during the reprinting, where apparent inaccura cies were met, were solved on the instant, without looking forward for parallel instances, fearful that a Scylla avoided on one page might be succeeded by a Charybdis on another, the line-for-line limitation precluding the correction of many of such typographical errors.
