      I am indebted to a great many people. I would like to begin by thanking the many archivists in England and Canada who have helped me. In particular, I wish to thank Angela Broome at The Royal Institution of Cornwall in Truro, Kim Cooper at the Centre for Cornish Studies in Redruth, Renée Jackaman at the Devon Record Office in Exeter, Sally Morgan at the Dorset History Centre in Dorchester, Vicky Grindrod at the West Yorkshire Archive Service in Leeds, Angela Plumb, Sue Barnsley, and Heather Marshall at the Suffolk Record Office in Ipswich, and Bill Wexler and Emma Sealy at the Suffolk Record Office in Lowestoft. Special thanks are owed to Ruth Hobbins, Janice Uthing, Margaret Daley, Pauline Cass, Brenda Muller, and Margaret Parry at the Liverpool Record Office for their unstinting help. In Canada, I would like to thank Melanie Tucker at the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, Gail Judge at the Nova Scotia Archives, Heather Lyons at the New Brunswick Archives, and Pam Wheatley at the Prince Edward Island Archives. As always there were many people at Library and Archives Canada, too numerous to mention, who assisted me in many ways.

      I am grateful to the many people who assisted me in obtaining illustrations. In particular I wish to thank Lord Dartmouth for his help in obtaining a portrait of the second Earl. I thank Munroe Scott of Peterborough, Ontario, for his permission to print the Duke of Cumberland Regiment picture. Thanks are due also to Kate Holliday, manager of the Yorkshire Libraries in Wakefield (Yorkshire), who helped me to locate and obtain the Juliana Ewing paintings. David Watkins, services and operations manager of the Poole Museum (Dorset), gave me invaluable help in locating portraits of Benjamin Lester and Robert Slade, while Caroline Stone, curator of The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery in St. John’s, directed me to important visual material in Halifax and Dorchester (Dorset). Sandi Hartling, Interim Registrar of the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown, and Linda Berko, curator of the P.E.I. Museum and Heritage Foundation, were instrumental in my being able to locate and obtain the exquisite paintings of Robert Harris and George Hubbard.

      I am greatly indebted to the editor, Jane Gibson, and the copy editor, Allison Hirst, for their painstaking work in correcting and polishing the manuscript. I also thank my dear friend Jean Lucas for her helpful guidance and advice.

      But my husband, Geoff, deserves the largest accolade. We are a team, and without him the book would never have been written. He produced the tables, maps, and appendices, located the illustrations, helped with the research, and was a guiding beacon in all aspects of the book’s production. This book is dedicated to him, with all my love.
