My brother “Savages” have induced me to look up my diaries and publish this book. If it proves an infliction, the blame is theirs. It has afforded me an opportunity to record gratefully the many kindnesses I have received during my travels—more especially the genial hospitality of the “Savage Club.” One of the infirmities of age is garrulity. I have endeavoured to avoid it. One word more to my reader—ADIEU! J.J.
