Excerpt from Memoir of Sir Charles Reed
In using the materials that were available, the writer has endeavoured to follow two prin ciples - the one, to restrict himself to matters of general, as distinguished from family, interest; and the other, to dwell only on what was in some degree characteristic. While, therefore, the public movements in which Sir Charles took part could not be passed by, they are introduced only as a background, and with a View to make his figure stand forth more clearly on the canvas.
