Introduction by the Earl of Birkenhead.

Publisher's Note regarding the manuscript: '...It was sent to us by Mr Charles H. Bertie, the well-known librarian of Sydney, New South Wales. Mr Bertie explained to us that it had come into his hands from a man who had inherited it from his wife's father, in whose possession it had remained for thirty years. Mr Bertie read the manuscript and was so sure of its importance that he had it typed and sent to us in England. We recognised its value and interest, but the archaic literary style of the writer made us doubt whether the book would be acceptable to modern readers. So the manuscript was rewritten, but with absolute fidelity to the original story...some pages of [the] precious and ragged original are reproduced in this book...'
