| "With reference to the narrative of events, far from permitting
myself to derive it from the first source that came to hand, I did not
even trust my own impressions, but it rests partly on what I saw myself,
partly on what others saw for me, the accuracy of the report always being
tried by the most severe and detailed tests possible. My conclusions have
cost me some labor from the want of coincidence between accounts of the
same occurrences by different eye-witnesses, arising sometimes from
imperfect memory, sometimes from undue partiality for one side or the
other." | |
