Excerpt from L'Algérie Pittoresque, ou Histoire de la Régence d'Alger, Depuis les Temps les Plus Reculés Jusqu'à Nos Jours: Présentant Avec la Suite des Événemens, la Description Géographique de la Contrée; Des Observations Précises sur les Peuples Qui l'Habitent, sur Leurs Usages, Leurs Lois, Leur Religion Et Leurs Mœurs; Partie Ancienne
Nous avons essayé de remplir cette tâche, et nous comptons assez sur lmdulgenoe du lecteur, pour croire que nos efforts seront accueillis avec bienveillance. Quelque étendu que soit notre plan nous osons nous flotter de l'avoir rempli malgré notre insuffisance; et nous avons trouvé pour cela de merveilleuses facilités dans l'adoption d'un cadre qui nous a servi pour ainsi dire de panorama pour tant de tableaux divers. En consacrant un chapitre distinct à chacune des populations qui sont venues successivement camper sur ce sol nous avons suivi la marche même de l'histoire et de la civilisation; et tous les détails de moeurs de religion, de commerce. De politique se sont présentés exactement a leur place et dans leur meilleur jour.
