Excerpt from The King of the Hurons"The King of the Hurons" is a story of civilized, rather than of savage life, notwithstanding the seeming indication to the contrary, contained in its title, and those of its readers who are familiar with the events of the age in which its scenes are supposed to have occurred, will readily remember the historical personage from whom the idea of its principal character has been derived.When this simple explanation is made, the author does not find that he has further use for a preface. He believes, indeed, that he has several good reasons for placing his book before the public, but as these will not be required by readers who like it, and would be quite unsatisfactory to those who do not, it would be clearly useless to publish them.With a thoroughly appreciating sense of the kindness which has marked the reception, by the press and the public, of his former brief productions, he submits this also to the same generous tribunal.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
