CONOLTTSION. 



My task is done. Have I done it well ? The reader 

 must be the judge. All I can say is, that I have taken 

 every pains to make my book a sure and a safe guide. I 

 have tried to avoid those errors which will glide into all 

 human work, but in spite of that, I feel that some errors 

 must have crept in. I ask, as a great service, of my 

 readers, that if they shall discover any errors, they will 

 kindly point them out to me, with a view to their sub- 

 sequent rectification ; for I desire, above every thing, 

 that my work may be useful, and that nobody may be 

 led into error by its perusal. 



Before laying down my pen, I have a duty to perform : 

 to render unto Osesar the things that are Caesar's. I will, 

 therefore, point out the numerous sources from which 

 I have drawn the fund of information from which my 

 book has been condensed. The following works have 

 all been useful to me under different heads, and to them 

 I owe almost all there is of good in this work :
