The Snow on Shah-Dagh and Ammalat Bey Posthumous Romances (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Snow on Shah-Dagh and Ammalat Bey: Posthumous Romances IN presenting to the English public the only posthu mous romances still unpublished from the pen of the most illustrious of all French writers, the elder Dumas, it is my duty to indicate the authenticity of the manuscript. An English lady still residing in Fontainebleau was presented with a packet of manuscripts by an old friend long since deceased. She is now aged, in bad health, and totally blind, so unwilling to be drawn into the glare of publicity over this af'fair. At my last interview with her in June of the present year, she was not desirous to revive forgotten reminiscences or to betray the antecedents of these manuscripts, the identity of which is internally and otherwise incontestably proved.
