JOURNAL OF A VISIT TO EGYPT, CONSTANTINOPLE, THE CRIMEA, GREECE, &c. IN THE SUITE OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. BY THE HON. MRS. WILLIAM GREY. NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS, FRANKLIN SQUARE. gift 11-3-31 TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS OF WALES. ADAM,-I know not how sufficiently to thank MAD your Royal Highness for allowing me to dedicate my little book to you. It is another, added to the many kindnesses I have already received from you, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Your Royal Highness can not be more surprised than I am myself at seeing my Journal in print! You know how, and when it was written-that it was written from day to day, often under difficulties, as a record to myself of a very happy time, and which members of my family might perhaps like to see; but, most assuredly, with no view to publication. In fact, till last Saturday, when I returned home from Sweden, I had not the slightest idea of its being printed. I had left it with my brother-in-law, General Grey, when I went abroad last July, asking him merely to correct some of my Swedish mistakes of grammar, in case I should wish to copy it out more fairly |
