Dear, dear, when the soft-hearts get hold of thing like that missionary's contribution they completely lose their tranquility they speak profanely and reproach Heaven for allowing such a find to live. Meaning me . They think it irregular. They go shuddering around, brooding over the reduction of that Congo population from 25,000,000 to 15,000,000 in the twenty years of my administration; then they burst out and call me the King with Ten Million Murders on his Soul. They call me a 'record'. - From King Leopold's Soliloquy

"I want to know, whether you consider the time is ripe for summoning King Leopold before the bar of an international tribunal to answer for the crimes perpetrated under his orders and in his interest in the Congo State?" -William Stead, Review of Reviews (1905) King Leopold's Soliloquy-A Defense of his Congo Rule (1905), by Mark Twain is an imaginary speech by King Leopold II of Belgium (1835-1909), in which Leopold defends himself against the critics of his reign of the Congo Free State (present-day Democratic Republic of Congo.) During Leopold's reign of plunder, he extracted ivory and rubber from this country while abusing and killing reportedly millions of Congolese laborers. Although this history is not well known, it is returning to forefront of the 21st century public debate. This jacketed hardcover replica of the original illustrated edition of King Leopold's Soliloquy offers a harsh indictment of Leopold and is a satirical and devastating read.

Excerpt from King Leopold's Soliloquy a Defense of His Congo Rule [Throws down pamphlets which he has been reading. Excitedly combs his flowing spread of whiskers with his fingers; pounds the table with his fists; lets off brisk volleys of unsanctified language at brief intervals, repentantly drooping his head, between volleys, and kissing the Louis XI crucifix hanging from his neck, accompanying the kisses with mumbled apologies; presently rises, flushed and perspiring, and walks the floor, gesticulating] - - !! - -!! If I had them by the throat! [Hastily kisses the crucifix, and mumbles] In these twenty years I have spent millions to keep the press of the two hemispheres quiet, and still these leaks keep on occurring. I have spent other millions on religion and art, and what do I get for it? Nothing. Not a compliment. These generosities are studiedly ignored, in print. In print I get nothing but slanders - and slanders again - and still slanders, and slanders on top of slanders! Grant them true, what of it? They are slanders all the same, when uttered against a king. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
