THE HISTORICAL NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENT, SECOND SERIES

by RAFAEL SABATINI







To
David Whitelaw

My Dear David,

Since the narratives collected here as well as in the preceding
volume under the title of the Historical Nights Entertainment--
narratives originally published in The Premier Magazine, which
you so ably edit--owe their being to your suggestion, it is
fitting that some acknowledgment of the fact should be made. To
what is hardly less than a duty, allow me to add the pleasure of
dedicating to you, in earnest of my friendship and esteem, not
merely this volume, but the work of which this volume is the
second.

Sincerely yours,

Rafael Sabatini

London, June, 1919.
