Excerpt from Vacation Tourists and Notes of Travel in 1860 I reached Naples two days before the departure of the King. What I saw and heard during the eventful three weeks which followed, will form the main part of my story. I prefer to tell this story (at the risk of occasional repetition) in the words of a journal written on the spot, and at the first leisure hour after the occurrences. In this journal I have corrected nothing but slips of the pen. I have inserted no ex post facto prophecies. I have merely added a note here and there by way of correction or explanation.
