See Introduction, pp. 1, 9.] which recently has been wrongfully occupied by the English under the name of Georgia, let due attention be paid to the truth concerning events and to the natural inferences which events carry with them, as proofs and arguments against the ignorance of some, the evident malice of others, and the mistakes of many—means which have served the English nation to defraud Spain of part of her rightful domain. The author is to be excused for his poor style, partly because of his lack of ability, and partly because he has given all his attention to baring the truth, which is distorted sometimes perhaps by a resort to eloquence.
