A WORD TO THE READER.
[figure description] Page 007.[end figure description]
It is proper to state, that while the following pages are
collected with the permission of the Author, and thus presented
in a book-form, he has yet himself not been consulted
in any manner in relation to the order of arrangement of its
contents; and it is quite probable, that his severer taste and
better judgment might have operated to exclude some things
which are here embraced. The Editor can only say, that
preparing the volume hastily for the press, he has done the
best he could in the premises; and only begs that the sin of
omission or of commission that may be observable in these
pages, should not be visited upon the head of the Author.
