Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Land of Gold: Reality Versus Fiction
This correspondence was never intended for the public eye, for the simple reason that the matter therein is set forth in a very plain man ner, With more regard to truth than elegance of diction. Indeed, how could it be otherwise? I have only described those things which came immediately under my own observation, and, be side this, I make no pretensions to extensive scholastic attainments, nor do I claim to be an adept in the art of book-making.
