logical sequence. This will not only disarm the 

 inevitable critcisms of the technical perceiver, but

Not only are we greatly indebted to Mr. French 

 for this labor of love in rescuing facts from oblivion, 

 but our gratitude should also include Colonel Shoe- 

 maker, the publisher, whose tongue, pen and fortune 

 have so long been devoted to research ift the Natural 

 History, Antiquities and Folk Lore of his well- 

 beloved State.
