To the few 'men that know' who still survive, in one or two places gaps or omissions are intentional, as I have no wish to cause pain to broken men who are still living, nor to diestress the relations of those who are dead. Much history is better written fifty years after all concerned in the making are dead. Governor of ruffian, Bishop or cannibal, I have written of all as I found them; I freely confess that I think when the last muster comes, the Great Architect will find - as I trust my readers will - some good points in the ruffians and the cannibals, as well, possibly, as some vulnerable places in the armour of Governors and Bishops.' (C.A.W. MONCKTON, in the Preface, p.VII). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. |
