There has never lived a people worth writing about who have not shaped out a destiny for themselves, or carved out their own opportunity. - J. E. Casely Hayford

It is a sad reflection, but a legitimate one, that in the present day the successors of the leaders, who bore the heat and the burden of the day in order that British commerce might gain a footing on these shores, are not remembered as they should be by the British Government.
