PREFACE. 



In consequence of the time that the careful compila- 

 tion of an Index will take, and other circumstances, the 

 Author has been induced to issue the Second Volume in 

 two parts. This will be attended with great additional ex- 

 pense to the Author ; but, in consideration of the numerous 

 observers, now fortunately scattered over the country, who 

 are anxious for the early appearance of the "Work, the 

 Author has not grudged it. 



The concluding part will, he hopes, be issued in a few 

 months.
