Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The events I have tried to describe in this book occurred in different parts of the world between the months of May, 1896, and June, 1897. Of the articles and letters that have been selected to fill it, those on the Coronation, the I nauguration, and the Jubilee appeared in Harpers Magazine, the one on the Millennial Celebration in Hungary in Scribners Magazine. The letters from Cuba were written to the New York Journal while I was on the island as a correspondent of that paper, and were later published in a book called Cuba in War-time. Those used here were loaned through the courtesy of the publisher, Mr. Robert Howard Russell. The article on the Greek Turkish war is made up of one which appeared in Harper s Magazine and of letters which I wrote from Turkey and Greece while acting as war correspondent of the London Times. RICHARD HARDING DAVIS.
