About the book >.>.> THE instigation as also the encouragement for this book upon Roumania is due to Princess Anne-Marie Callimacki to whom it is dedicated. It would be impossible sufficiently to thank her for her unceasing hospitality or to pay enough tribute to her comprehensive knowledge and love of her country. Her husband Prince Jean Callimacki was no less amiable and kind with his learning that ranges from arch?ological and heraldic subjects to ell I must the works of Brillat-Savarin and Soyer. But as well I thank most warmly Mr. D. Dem Dimancesco for two charming days spent at Rucar that most typical of Roumanian mountain villages and for his many suggestions his items of information and his assistance in the correct spelling of Roumanian names. Another friend Prince Matila Ghyka the distinguished writer upon ?sthetics has assisted me with his corrections has given several emendations of which I have made use and has drawn my attention to one or two points of which I was ignorant before. I must acknowledge my indebtedness to the Guide Bleu in which the section upon Art in Roumania was written by M. Paul Henry long resident in the country. (SP)
