1^* The long continued indisposition and lamented death of 

 the Rev. Dr. Young, must account for the delay in publishing the 

 present Report, which, previous to the illness of Dr. Young, existed 

 only in his own short-hand notes ; a circumstance which gave him 

 some concern, as no one could decypher them but himself: — to 

 dictate their purport was one of the latest efforts of his useful and 

 honorable life.
