PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. 



""PHREE years having almost elapsed since the 

 publication of the Second Edition, which is 

 now nearly cleared out, and the demand still keep- 

 ing up, I have decided on issuing a third. The 

 price will remain the same until half the Edition 

 is sold, when it will be raised to 12/6. This is 

 rendered necessary owing to the number published 

 being smaller.
