INTRODUCTION.
in the winter of 1880, it could be little more than tentative and experimental: much new information has since come to light; and in the labour of revision and addition no pains have been spared in pursuing research and inquiry in every available or accessible quarter. The General Index, which includes references to the Bibliography as well as to the text, will, it is hoped, be found if not entirely exhaustive, at least sufficiently copious and serviceable.
An image should appear at this position in the text. To use the entire page scan as a placeholder, edit this page and replace "{{missing image}}" with "{{raw image|Sultan Stork, and other stories and sketches (IA sultanstorkother00thac).pdf/20}}". Otherwise, if you are able to provide the image then please do so. For guidance, see Wikisource:Image guidelines and Help:Adding images. |  |
