TO HON. CHARLES A. DANA,
Editor of "The Sun," New York.
Sir,--I beg to dedicate to you this translation of a remarkable work,touching a period eventful in the history of the Poles, and the Slavrace in general. You will appreciate the pictures of battle and trialcontained in these volumes, for you know great events not from booksmerely but from personal contact. You receive pleasure from variousliteratures, and from considering those points of character by whichnations and men are distinguished; hence, as I think, THE DELUGE willgive you some mental enjoyment, and perhaps turn your attention to anew field of history.
