The Eureka Stockade





NOTA BENE

In Person I solicit no subscription--in writing I hereby
ask no favour from my reader. A book must stand or fall
by the truth contained in it.

What I wish to note is this: I was taught the English
language by the Very Reverend W. Vincent Eyre, Vice Rector
of the English College, Rome. It has cost me immense
pains to rear my English up to the mark; but I could never
master the language to perfection. Hence, now and then,
probably to the annoyance of my Readers, I could not help
the foreign idiom. Of course, a proper edition,
in Italian, will be published in Turin.

I have nothing further to say.
