Description
In publishing my father’s Conversations I have always endeavoured to seize the moment when the countries whose politics and habits they record were objects of especial interest.
There surely will never be a more opportune occasion than the present for the appearance of his Journals in Egypt and Malta.
When, in 1859, Mr Senior brought out his Journals in Turkey and Greece, much that was valuable and interesting had to be omitted, and the names of nearly all the speakers suppressed.
The lapse of a quarter of a century has relieved me almost entirely from the necessity of omitting either names, facts, or opinions; and yet the present volumes cannot be considered out of date; for, as my father says in one of his Conversations, “The East does not change.”
