PREFACE

If ‘Dagonet Abroad’ is found to be mainly a record of personaladventure, my excuse must be that I have always endeavoured to attend tomy own business and leave other people’s alone. I have described thecities and peoples of Europe entirely from my own personal observation.In no instance have I described a country without visiting it. I trustthat this admission will not in any way injure my reputation as atraveller, or as a journalist.
