Description
Excerpt from Sketches of Algiers: Political, Historical, and Civil; Containing an Account of the Geography, Population, Government, Revenues, Commerce, Agriculture, Arts, Civil Institution, Tribes, Manners, Languages, and Recent Political History of That Country
The author claims the indulgence of the public: for the unavoidable egotism that appears in this narrative. He is the only person existing, who could trace it correctly being a principal actor in the scenes narrated, circum stances compel him to be the commentator of his own actions; but though obliged to speak of himself, it is al ways as the national representative, whose credit here, whatever it may be, must ever entirely depend upon the respect, which the power and honest policy of the United States inspire.
