Excerpt from The French Colonial Question 1789-1791: Dealings of the Constituent Assembly With Problems Arising From the Revolution in the West Indies

To the friends who have helped me I hereby acknowledge my obligations. Professor Charles O. Hardy, of Ottawa Uni versity, who is making a study of the mulattoes in the West Indies, more than once placed valuable bits of information freely at my disposal. Professor Edward Raymond Turner, of the University of Michigan, read a part of my manuscript and from time to time gave me advice and encouragement. Professor Charles H. Hull, of Cornell University, read the entire manu script and gave me a valuable suggestion which I tried to adopt. To Mr. Willard H. Austen, Librarian of Cornell University, I am especially grateful for many courtesies. He allowed me the freedom of the stacks and permitted me to collect all pertinent material in an alcove where I could work in peace and comfort. During my researches in the Archives Nationales, I was guided and assisted by Messrs. Waldo G. Leland and Abel Doysié, of the Carnegie Bureau for Historical Research. To all these friends I take pleasure in acknowledging my gratitude.
