Excerpt from Sardinia and Its Resources Some explanation for venturing to bring the follo wing pages before the Public seems to be needed. The Author was intrusted with a Commission in connection with commercial enterprizes in Sardinia, which necessitated a personal visit to the Island of some months duration, and, in the discharge of that duty, he had to penetrate all parts of the country, he was brought into direct personal communication with the Provincial and Communal Authorities and principal landowners and mer chants, and in almost every district the Public records and Official Statistics had to be consulted.
