Excerpt from Siam and China
We have added nothing, modified but little, and withheld the least possible, so that the clear image of him may be visible in his writings, without alterations and without literary pre occupations.
Nearly all his notes, even, have been taken word by word from his note-book of travel.
To the parts comprising the journey to Siam and the journey to China we have desired to add a third, reproducing all the letters of those who were near the lamented Salvatore in his last days, and of those who were interested in him in that far away city, where he died, so that readers may understand how the diary was severed at the end of April 1912, and how that journey, so happily began, had no return.

Excerpt from Siam and China
In collecting and publishing the writings of Salvatore Besso, which refer to his last journey to the Far East, a principal aim has guided us: that of keeping as far as possible in their original character and entirety, the Diary of Travel which he sent in the form of letters almost daily to his home, the articles of impressions sent to the Tribuna during five months of his animated youth.
It was impossible to separate from the collection of letters, the facts of public interest from the impressions and expressions of a familiar nature, unless one wished to destroy that freshness and directness of vision which constitute the great value of this book. Thus the idea was renounced. Just as it would have been impossible to place the familiar letters and newspaper articles under two categories, clearly defined one from another, because we should have profitlessly broken the line of continuity of the journey and the book, which would have been quite against the wish of the author, who desired that the collection of letters and articles should complete one another in the minds of his parents and distant friends. Thus letters and articles form part of and succeed each other chronologically also in the volume.
