Excerpt from Memoir of William Knibb, Missionary in Jamaica I have written almost entirely from documents. Many of these are in print, but by far the larger proportion of them are in manuscript, and consist of letters to various persons. In relation to these documents I must in candour inform the reader of two things: first, that I have inserted few of them at full length, but have rather selected such portions as were suitable to my purpose; secondly, that I have not in any case made a point of adhering to literal accuracy. The composition of Knibb's letters and speeches, I have found in some instances so loose as to require considerable freedoms; and I have taken them. I hope that by judicious persons who. May take the trouble of comparison, I shall not be thought to have used improper licence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
