"The principal object of the author, in the following pages, has been to tell an agreeable story in an agreeable way. In doing so, however, an eye has been had to the illustration of Moorish manners, customs, history and geography to the exemplification of Moorish life as it actually is in Barbary in the present day, and not as it usually appears amid the vague and poetic glamour of the common Moorish romance. It has also been an object to introduce to the acquaintance of the reader a people who have played a most important part in the world s history, but of whom very few educated people know anything more than the name."--Preface.
