A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In preparing the first edition of this History, notwithstanding all my efforts to bring the work within moderate compass, it grew into a ponderous volume, and a costly one. In the present issue, whilst preserving all the essentials of the original, I have so reduced its size, and lessened its price, as to place it within the reach of all. Slight errors in the text have been corrected; some recently acquired information added to the notes; and, in order to bring the History up to date, a concluding chapter has been written on the events of the year 1895, and the future prospects of the Colony. The publication of this new edition gives me an opportunity of performing two very pleasant tasks, to record the advance and prosperity of the Colony during the past year, and to thank my reviewers everywhere for the generous praise they have bestowed upon my first attempt at authorship. I thank them not only for myself, but on behalf of my fellow colonists; the kindly notice they have taken of my volume is not so much due to any small merits in the work, it is far more the expression of kindly interest so universally felt for England smost ancient Colony, whose sad eventful history I have endeavoured truthfully to relate. In the introduction to my first edition I mentioned the friendly helpers who assisted me in its preparation ;in the present volume I wish briefly to record my thanks to those who aided me in its publication.
