Excerpt from Cretan Sketches
This little book makes no claim to be a history of the recent Cretan revolution, still less to be a history of Crete. Its aim is merely to enable the newspaper-reader to fill in the gaps in his mental panorama of Cretan struggles by a few rough etchings mostly taken from life.
The writer takes this opportunity of expressing his sincere thanks to Mr. Melton Prior for his kindly and valuable assistance, to the proprietors of the Illustrated London News for permission to reproduce the illustrations, of which they own the copyright, and also to the editor of the Daily Chronicle and the manager of the Times for permitting him to make use of letters and telegrams contributed by him to the former journal in 1896, and to the latter this year.
