Dedication: To Fred Taylor, Esq. My dear friend, Fred Taylor, I am dedicating this book, 'M'Glusky the Reformer', to you because I know you like live men, and I think you will find my hero very much alive. You are one of the few men whom I have met who have the saving grace of humour, and I think you will know a laugh when you see it on the face of M'Glusky as he goes about his work of reformation. Anyway, by the time this is in print I shall once more be away in the wilds of South America, and this book may conjure up a memory of old times as you sit by your cosy English hearth and read whilst I am 'dreeing my ain weird' by the camp fire.
