NOTE TO FOURTH EDITION 



The chief alteration in the present edition concerns 

 the Appendix to Chapter IX., which has been 

 revised and extended in accordance with recent 

 research. At the same time I have been able to 

 correct sundry errors, typographical and other, which 

 appeared in the last edition. To those who from 

 time to time have been kind enough to point these 

 out I would take this opportunity of expressing 

 my thanks.
