R. M. Ballantyne The Pirate City: An Algerine Tale (Classic Reprint) - Online indir

I n. this book I have attempted to present a true picture of life and events in the Pirate City of A lgiers, as exhibited about the first quarter of the present century. Without claiming to be absolutely correct in every trivial detail, I m.ay perhaps venture to hope that, having spent a winter in A lgiers, and made a careful examination of the most interesting and authentic records obtainable, error in fact and colouring has been avoided. My best thanks are due to Colonel Playfair, Consul-G eneral at A lgiers, and to several other friends, for their kindness in furnishing me with the books and some of the material out of which my tale has been constructed.
