PREFACE.
We ask to be allowed to introduce the Reader to akind and genial cicerone, who can take him back, threecenturies deep, into the Past, and show him the Turkas he was when he dictated to Europe instead ofEurope dictating to him; or conjure once more intolife Catherine de Medici, Navarre, Alençon, Guise,Marguerite the fair and frail, and that young Queen,whom he loved so well and served so faithfully.
