Background
THIS BOOK is affectionately inscribed to my young friend HARRY ROGERS with recognition of what he is, & apprehension of what he may become unless he form himself a little more closely upon the model of THE AUTHOR
Not present, however, “on a page by itself”, in either edition, is this touching “Explanatory Note.”
Of the seventy Innocents who sailed in the "Quaker City Excursion" twenty-eight years ago, I am the only innocent one still living. I called the record of the trip "The Innocents Abroad" & the title plausibly suggested that all of the excursionists were without guile, but that was a courteous exaggeration. Strictly, the title described only two of us. The other one is no more.
Clemens, finished, then began book he would work on the rest of it life. It was about Satan, and his intervention in the world, and it would not be published until after his death.

EXPLANATORY NOTE.
Of the seventy Innocents who sailed in the "Quaker City Excursion" twenty-eight years ago, I am the only innocent one still living. I called the record of the trip "The Innocents Abroad" & the title plausibly suggested that all of the excursionists were without guile, but that was a courteous exaggeration. Strictly, the title described only two of us. The other one is no more.
June, 1897 Mark Twain
