Excerpt from Monaco and Its Gaming Tables IT was with no intention of writing a book that I began what I may call this treatise on gambling. During a lengthened residence at Nice last winter, I had joined a committee which was formed there for the purpose of having public gambling at Monte Carlo suppressed. With the view of aiding this movement, I commenced to write what was intended to be a newspaper article on the subject. As the writing proceeded, the subject widened, and my treatise extended beyond the limits suitable for the columns of a newspaper, so that it became necessary to publish it in a more imposing form. Besides, my spirit had been stirred within me as the magnitude of the evil about which I was writing became more and more disclosed, and I was on that account the more willing to deliver my message by the still small voice of a little book, which might be read in the quiet of the family circle, rather than by a cry from the house-tops, through the public press. One disadvantage, however, resulting from this departure from the original intention, was the compression and over-condensation with which the subject had been treated, with the view of making it suitable for the hurried reading and summary dismissal which is the general fate of newspaper articles.

Excerpt from Monaco and Monte Carlo To describe the economic, social and political conditions of a country, the good will and assistance of the authorities responsible for its government must be secured. Fortunately, a lifelong acquaintance with the Principality of Monaco has placed me in a favourable position. So far back as 1882, I was well known to the officials as collaborating with the late Doctor Pickering, in writing and publishing a small book entitled "Monaco, the Beauty Spot of the Riviera." Subsequently I was deputed to investigate various epidemics on the Riviera, notably the cholera epidemics of 1884, 1885 and 1893. The energetic denunciations and scientific reports I then contributed to The Lancet, describing the insanitary conditions prevailing at the so-called health resorts, contributed in no small measure to bring about the notable improvements now realised along the whole Riviera, and especially at Monaco. More recently, during the Conference of the International Association of the Medical Press, which met at Monaco in 1902, I was appointed spokesman of the eight nationalities represented. In the name of the leading medical journals published by the principal nations of Europe, I had to address his Serene Highness, Prince Albert I and explained that we were doubly honoured. We were honoured by the regal reception and bounteous hospitality accorded to us by his Highness as Prince of Monaco. But there was a more intimate link. We attached still greater value to the privilege of being the guests of a man of science who had rendered the world service by his original research and discoveries.

This is the first global history of the secret diplomatic and police campaign that was waged against anarchist terrorism from 1878 to the 1920s. Anarchist terrorism was at that time the dominant form of terrorism and for many continued to be synonymous with terrorism as late as the 1930s. Ranging from Europe and the Americas to the Middle East and Asia, Richard Bach Jensen explores how anarchist terrorism emerged as a global phenomenon during the first great era of economic and social globalization at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries and reveals why some nations were so much more successful in combating this new threat than others. He shows how the challenge of dealing with this new form of terrorism led to the fundamental modernization of policing in many countries and also discusses its impact on criminology and international law.
