- "A compilation which professes to narrate the history of ... successive colonists ... The earlier redactions have come down to us ... in fifteen mss. ... They fall into redactional groups, essentially at variance in the selection ... of the narratives, and in the language ... The editor has no alternative but to print them in extenso."--p. [ix]
