217 페이지 - If anything happens to me during the present disturbances, I earnestly recommend that Major Banks succeed me as Chief Commissioner, and Colonel Inglis in command of the troops, until better times arrive. This is no time for punctilio as regards seniority. They are the right men — in fact, the only men for the places. My Secretary entirely concurs with me on the above points.
186 페이지 - Time is everything just now. Time, firmness, promptness, conciliation, and prudence ; every officer, each individual European, high and low, may at this crisis prove most useful or even dangerous. A firm and cheerful aspect must be maintained : there must be no bustle, no appearance of alarm, still less of panic ; but at the same time there must be the utmost watchfulness and promptness ; everywhere the first germ of insurrection must be put down instantly.
