NOTE:

DǼƽĵǪ'Ǫ 'Celebrated Crimes' was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language—has minced no words—to describe the violent scenes of a violent time.

"In some instances facts appear distorted out of their true perspective, and in others the author makes unwarranted charges. It is not within our province to edit the historical side of Dumas, any more than it would be to correct the obvious errors in Dickens's Child's

History of England. The careful, mature reader, for whom the books are intended, will recognize, and allow for, this fact.
