Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work.

Our administration in Formosa has been severely criticised, but the majority of our critics have not studied the question sufficiently to form an opinion. Very few of them have had an opportunity of visiting the island and testing the truth of their suppositions by personal investigation on the spot; hence, in most cases, their conclusions are wrong, because they arise from insufficient knowledge, and are based on false premises Others have looked at the subject through coloured glasses, and thus have obtained a distorted view. Small wonder then that their criticisms are so wide of the mark. As a matter of fact, our nations history as aC olonial Power commences with the story of our administration in Formosa, and our failure or success there must exercise a marked influence on all our future undertakings.
