Description
Excerpt from The History of Wool and Woolcombing
There are certain disadvantages in writing of men that are living. Praise cannot be bestowed upon them without the suspicion of ?attery, and mistakes cannot be pointed out without giving offence; but, on the other hand, there is the best means of arriving at an accurate knowledge of facts while the persons are still in existence who are able to vouch for them at first hand. As far as possible I have striven to preserve an independence of observation in pursuing my inquiries, and do not doubt that as time goes on the achievements here chronicled will have their importance still further emphasized.
