Mr. Oseba's Last Discovery
MR. OSEBA.
By GEO. W. BELL
(Col. BELL, Seven Years U.S. Consul, At Sydney, Australia).
The conspicuous happiness and prosperity of a people, are the best evidences of benign rule.
WELLINGTON, N.Z.: THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES CO., LTD., PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS. 1904.
To the People of New Zealand, the most advanced community among men, the Author dedicates these erratic pages....
“Teach me to feel another’s woe, To hide the fault I see. That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me.”
Many regard the usual “preface” to a book as of questionable value, but custom may justify the continuance of its use.
I had long been a student of Anglo-Saxon history, but until I went to Australia in 1893, I had seen little hope for a realisation of the higher aspirations of the race.
George W. Bell
