Excerpt from The Old Colonial System
The materials which I have used are sufficiently indicated by the footnotes. I have had access to the numerous tracts and pamphlets therein referred to, in the Bodleian, in the Manchester University Library, and in the Manchester Free Reference Library. In regard to the due choice and appreciation of authorities, and to the general handling of the theme, I am greatly indebted to Professor Tout. His criticisms have made me aware how hard it is even to try to epitomise a vast subject in the compass of a single volume.
I also owe thanks to Mr. J. A. Doyle of All Souls' College.
