Présentation de l'éditeur
Were the teller of an old tale to acknowledge all his sources he would have to burden his book with a bibliography. No man, however, can, without flagrant injustice, write upon the end of the seventeenth century at the French Court without acknowledging his indebtedness toM iss Julia Pardoe, nor can he treat American history of the same date without owing much toM r. Francis Parkman. I may add that I have taken some slight liberties with history, especially by compressing events which occurred within a space of about three years into a very much shorter time. A. CoNAN Doyle. South Norwood, March
