Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Records of New Zealand, Vol. 1 The adoption of this course serves a double purpose. In the first place, it enhances the value of the History, for it enables the reader to turn at any point from the narrative of the writer to the fuller information which the reports and despatches supply. The advantage gained by this treatment of the official papers is obvious. N O matter how faithfully a writer of history may perform his task, he cannot cover all the ground no matter how acutely he may criticize the actors who take. Part in the scenes he describes, he cannot exhibit them in so clear a light as they are shown in their own writings. Thus the publication of the Records may be regarded as desirable from the historical point of view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
