The preface of the "Noli me Tangere" states the purpose of its author,
which was no other than to expose the sufferings of the Filipino people to

generous might suggest and apply a suitable care.

own people must deal. It occurred to me that an English translation of
Rizal’s work would be of great value at the present time. My first intention
was to reproduce the entire novel as it was written, but, after careful
