[Gutenberg 20646] • The Nabob, Vol. 1 (of 2)

Excerpt from The Works of Alphonse Daudet, Vol. 1 of 2: The Nabob

We have been informed that at the time of the publication of The Nabob in serial form, the government of Tunis was offended at the introduction therein of individuals whom the author dressed in names and costumes peculiar to that country. We are authorized by M. Alphonse Daudet to declare that those scenes in the book which relate to Tunis are entirely imaginary, and that he never intended to introduce any of the functionaries of that state.
