Editor's Preface 



/ must add a few lines on my share in 

 this new edition. The book has been exactly 

 reprinted from the first edition, verbatim and 

 literatim, with the exception of printers^ errors, 

 so that no alteration has been made in the 

 text; but I have thought it well to add a 

 few short footnotes here and there, mostly in 

 confirmation of what Forbes Watson had 

 written, and in a very few cases in correction.
