PREFACE 



TO 



THE FOURTH EDITION. 



THE SUCCESSIVE EDITIONS of this work have been 

 carefully revised, with many augmentations, both of 

 the matter and in the number of illustrations. 



The latter have been done under the eye of the 

 author, by a friend, Mr. G. LE MASURIER of Guernsey, 

 in a manner calculated to convey to the amateur 

 faithful representations. 



J. C. WILCOCKS.
