THE HISTORICAL NIGHTS' ENTERTAINMENT, SECOND SERIES
by RAFAEL SABATINI



To
David Whitelaw
My Dear David,
Since the narratives collected here as well as in the preceding
volume under the title of the Historical Nights Entertainment--
narratives originally published in The Premier Magazine, which
you so ably edit--owe their being to your suggestion, it is
fitting that some acknowledgment of the fact should be made. To
what is hardly less than a duty, allow me to add the pleasure of
dedicating to you, in earnest of my friendship and esteem, not
merely this volume, but the work of which this volume is the
second.
Sincerely yours,
Rafael Sabatini
London, June, 1919.

encouraged me to prepare the second series here assembled.
As in the case of the narratives that made up the first volume,
I set out again with the same ambitious aim of adhering
scrupulously in every instance to actual, recorded facts; and
once again I find it desirable at the outset to reveal how far
the achievement may have fallen short of the admitted aim.
