TKINIDAD : THEN AND NOW. 



In reading over what I have written, I find that, 



notwithstanding the greatest care, some typographi- 

 cal errors have crept in ; there is one to be found at 

 top of page 196, so notable and unwarrantable that I 

 cannot let it pass without craving permission to cor- 

 rect it ; it should read : 



"He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not 

 look upon his like again." 



Others my readers will be easily able to correct 

 but I regret that there should be any occasion 

 to do so. 



In the introductory chapter I gave a quotation 

 from the book of Maccabees, and I will conclude with 

 another : — 



" I know that it will lie open to the censure of 

 some. Nevertheless, I hope they are not all of one 

 humour, and I doubt not there is a diversity of taste, 

 so that which seemeth unsavoury to one man may 

 seem dainty to another, and the most witless saying 

 that is set down will seem witty to some. ' 7 



i ' If I have done well as is fitting to the story, it 

 is that which I desire ; but if slenderly and meanly, 

 it is all that I could attain unto. And so I will make 

 an end."
