Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels in Montenegro: Containing a Topographical, Picturesque, and Statistical Account of That Hitherto Undescribed Country; Illustrated by a Map and Plates
IN writing the history of a people, hitherto scarcely known even by name, my object has been to render myself useful, without aspiring to literary honour. The military and political circumstances of Montenegro, the situation in which Iwas placed, and my intercourse with the principal chiefs of the nation, afforded me the best Opportunity of observing the manners, customs, and superstitions of the people. All the details which I have given on these subjects, must necessarily be new to the reader, and cannot be unimportant in the study of geography and the moral history of mankind.
