The Editor begs leave, in this place, to render his most 

 grateful acknowledgments to those Friends who have so 

 kindly aided him in the prosecution of this present work; 

 had they not expressed their wishes to the contrary, he 

 would have made a point of mentioning their names. 

 As it is, the kindness and goodwill with which they 

 undertook to assist him, in translating his native into a 

 foreign tongue, will ever remain deeply impressed upon 

 his mind.
