TWAIN, MARK. Autograph Manuscript Signed, draft of a title-page for Appendix to 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court',
-
Notes: The note: "The Yankee says so many unkind things about royalty & nobility in that book that it seems only fair that they should have a chance to show, by unquestioned history, that they have been of great value to their country--that, indeed, they have been to her the most valuable of all her children. And so in their defence I print this little book, which was written by an Englishman & published in London a year ago. It is my desire to heal all the wounds & make things pleasant again."
Presumably, this title-page was intended for a proposed reprinting of an English work responding to the criticisms appearing in A Connecticut Yankee, but Twain subsequently abandoned the project for unknown reasons.
