viii PREFACE 



few alterations and additions have been made, but 

 these in no way affect the deductions, theories or views 

 of the German author. Wherever possible, German 

 quotations from English works have been verified, and 

 the original English wording cited. There is little 

 doubt but that those who study this work will find in 

 it a fund of information presented in an interesting, 

 though concise, manner.
