" Though some, who know mankind, and the various follies, 

 faults, and virtues that are blended in our imperfect natures, 

 may smile with me at this free relation of what I have seen 

 and known, yet I am aware that more will he offended at the 

 liberty 1 have taken in painting men as they are ; and that 

 many, from private connexions of party and family, will dis- 

 like meeting such unflattered portraits of their heroes or their 

 relations. Yet this, 1 fear, must always be the ease in any his- 

 tory written impartially by an eye-witness; and eye-witnesses 

 have been generally allowed to be the properest historians." —
