HON. WILLIAM T. HARRIS, LL.D.
Commissioner of Education My Dear Doctor:-This translation, of one of the greatest novels of Poland's foremost modern writer, Henryk Sienkiewicz, I beg to dedicate to you. Apart for my high personal regard for you, my reason for selecting you among all my literary friends, is: that you are a historian and philosopher, and can therefore best appreciate works of this kind.
SAMUEL A. BINION, New York City.
