Excerpt from The Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton C. V. O., O. B. E. (Mil.), LL. D
With this plan in view I have tried to set out the life and strife of my old friend as a sort of moving picture, the scale of which varies in its different parts according to the importance of each to the life as a whole. The endeavour necessarily falls short of the ideal inspiring it but I have done my best to chronicle a life, and a whole life, so far as this is possible, while observing such restraint and reticence as are demanded by regard for the feelings of others.
