Excerpt from The Government of the Philippine Islands: Its Development and Fundamentals For a number of years, I have valiantly resisted the temptation to write a book on the Philippines. I should not have been in a scanty company if I had, for the Philippines have served as a favorite topic for the ready pen of many writers. The casual tourist has described the Islands, its people, and its problems without real investigation, but yet with solemn finality and comical frankness, often to the amusement of the Filipinos who see themselves and their country held up as tremendous psychological enigmas (see Epifanio de los Santos, I Philippine Law Journal, p. 247). Others have found a field for controversy in which all facts are made to substantiate a preconceived theory. Needless to say some few good books on the Philippines have been written. But if anyone has tried, as I have, to read everything available on the Philippines, they will realize the immense mass of chaff of bias and misinformation which covers up the grains of facts and truth (see Le Roy, Philippine Life in Town and Country, pp. 12, 13). A few words, therefore, may be permitted as to why still another Philippine volume is deemed necessary and as to what purpose it is intended to fulfil.
