A TALE OF MAROCCO IN 1830. BY EDWARD L. MITFORD, CEYLON CIVIL SERVICE. •BIBL LONDON: HATCHARD & CO. 187 PICCADILLY, Booksellers to B.R.H. the Princess of Wules. THE PREFACE. THIS little Tale, which the Author has given permission to be published, was written more than five-and-twenty years ago, after a residence of six years in Marocco. The story is founded on tragical facts, which occurred at the time, and is intended to illustrate the character of the people of West Barbary, as well as the state of oppression under which the Jews of that country suffered, but which of late years the Author understands has been greatly ameliorated, owing to the humane exertions of Sir Moses Montefiore, and the remonstrances of the British Government. April, 1867. |
