PEEFACE NO PEEFACE. 



(FOR FIRST EDITION.) 



MY respected Publisher has suggested that a Preface 

 may be expected. His opinion on such a subject ought 

 to be law ; but as I fear my readers may think that 

 I have already sufficiently bored them, I will beg them, 

 in Irish fashion, to refer any formalist, who considers 

 a Preface necessary, to the conclusion of the work, 

 where a statement will be found of the motive which 

 induced me to write.
