Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adventures of a Roving Diplomatist This book is of so personal a nature as to require some explanation, if not an excuse. It is easy to make the first, and it is hoped the last will prove as acceptable. In a volume published nearly two years since, "My Courtship and its Consequences," I related, with extreme candor, the remarkable vicissitudes that befell me in pursuit of a wife; but no portion of this singular narrative appeared to excite more surprise than the strange fact that I was immured fifteen months in a Genoese prison for no other offense than obtaining a stolen interview with the object of my penchant. I made it apparent enough that this unjustifiable outrage was perpetrated through the active instrumentality of the British consul at Genoa; but the American public was at a loss to know what insidious motive could urge such a person to so extraordinary an interference, and next, how so humble an official could wield such power over a court of law, even though it existed in Italy. The clue to this mystery was in my hands at the time, but I considered it indiscreet to make, then, the revelations contained in the present volume.
