Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. All books nowadays have a preface. Let me give, as an introduction to this one, the reply made by the photographer (mr. Frank Sutcliffe) to a friend who met him one evening when returning from the plantations at Mulgrave. On being asked, What fields he had been making conquests in? The answer was, I have been taking some photographs for a gentleman who is going to do away with the 'north wind.'
