Présentation de l'éditeur
Narrative of Facts to public inspection, being convinced I am performing an important and imperative duty to society, as well as to myself. In deference to the opinion of others, and contrary to my own, I have delayed publication, I believe, greatly to the prejudice of my own interest and character, and it now remains to be seen who was in the right, or who had most cause to be afraid of publicity. If the excitement has gone past, the time is favourable for forming a more impartial judgment, it being neither too proximate nor too remote from the occurrences; and I trust it will be found I have neither extenuated, nor set down ought in malice, to gratify either individual or party. Setting up no literary pretensions, I only pledge myself to having steadily adhered to the truth, in a plain unvarnished Statement of Facts, as far as they occurred within my own knowledge. In doing so, I have not violated even an implied promise with a single person; and, as an evidence that 1have taken no undue advantage, the proof sheets were offered to all the parties, materially interested, before they were put to press. 1consider I have brought forward all the persons in a sufficiently prominent manner, to enable the Public to come to a just decision; and if an attempt is made to invalidate any of my statements, written documents, and still more special references, are forthcoming, to confirm them, if called for.
