Biographical note:
Henry Montagu Villiers, * March 30, 1863. Villiers, a
British diplomat, was appointed British Consul to the
Faroes in 1900 and resided in Tórshavn from May 1900 to
May 1905 and again from November 1914 to August 1915.
His detailed reports to the British Govemment as well as the
descriptions given in his memoirs bear witness to his great
and unbiased interest in all aspects of Faroese life past and
present. Villiers, who also officiated as a British consul in
Bogota, Malaga, Stockholm and Esbjerg, retired from
diplomatic service in 1919. He died in Montreux, Switzer-
land, in 1948
