'It would be impossible in the limits of a single volume to describe, even in the simplest fashion, all the great events which have taken place in Europe from 1867 to the present time. The author has contented himself with embodying in his narrative those with which he was most familiar; and he trusts that the public will acquit him of any attempt to be either profound or sensational. He has tried to tell a simple story which may afford pleasure and profit to the general reader.' (from the Prefatory Note). N° de ref. del artículo B704HBB
