Nada the Lily

Excerpt from Nada the Lily <p>It is Obvious that such a task has presented difficulties, Since he who undertakes it must for a time forget his civili zation, and think with the mind, and speak with the voice Of a Zulu Of the Old re'gime. All the horrors perpetrated by the Zulu trvants cannot be published in this polite age Of melanite and torpedoes; their details therefore have been suppressed. Still much remains, and those who think it wrong that massacre and fighting should be written Of, except by special correspondents, - Or that the sufferings of mankind beneath one Of the world's most Cruel tyrannies Should form the groundwork of romance, may be invited to leave this book unread. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
