Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Achievements of the Knights of Malta, Vol. 1 of 2
The author has only to add, that he did not take up the pen till after much laborious study; and that he was stimulated to his task by a sincere admiration Of the many noble and heroic actions which it was his duty -to record - an admiration which has perhaps occasionally given his language too ambitious a tone. All that he-desires Is, that his attempt to unite the broken links Of a very brilliant and extraordinary chain of historical facts may be tolerated, until some abler hand shall effect their perfect and in-l destructible union.
