Excerpt from Clarence King Memoirs: The Helmet of Mambrino (Classic Reprint)
Late Clarence King, the Board of Management of the Century Asso ciation appointed a Committee to ad vise in what manner the Club might most fitly take due note of the demise of their distinguished fellow-member. After some long and disappointing delays it was at last determined to recommend the publication of a King Memorial Book, which should contain a number of personal memoirs, con tributed by some of his more intimate friends and associates, together with a reprint of King's short story entitled The Helmet of Mambrino, which was first published in the Century Magazine, in May, 1886. These efforts have resulted in the publication of the volume here pre sented, which has been produced under.
