Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of Lutfullah: A Mohamedan Gentleman; And His Transactions With His Fellow-Creatures; Interspersed With Remarks on the Habits, Customs, and Character of the People With Whom He Had to Deal
To some peculiar notions I would have willingly drawn attention by notes, but the great object being to condense as much as possible, I have for borne from all remark, and cut down the original as much as could be done without leaving out any fact or sentiment of importance. Indeed, my chief editorial task has been to compress; but, except with this View, I have altered the ms. As little as possible. Some stories, however, more suited to Oriental than to European taste, have been altogether omitted. The quotations and scraps of Latin are all of Lutfullah''s own insertion.
