PREFACE. vii 
departure from the rules on which the translation was originally 
made. An Index has been added, and an Analysis of Subjects, 
which, it is believed, the reader will find of service. 
Of the Illustrations, whose grace and finish have been universally 
acknowledged, and their fidelity to Nature liberally praised, it is

to the English public as the collaborateur of Doré in his celebrated 
edition of the Bible. 
In conclusion, I may add that a translation of “The Mountain,” 
by Michelet, is in the press, and will shortly be produced as a com- 
panion volume to the present.
