Note. — The above translation was made for the Society about ten years 

 ago, but remained unpublished for want of time and opportunity to revise 

 it by a careful collation with the original manuscript. This has now 

 been done, although the pressing requirements of the Government Printing 

 Office have compelled me to perform the work with greater expedition 

 than I should have wished. While correcting all manifest inaccuracies, 

 and adding a few explanatory notes here and there, I have left the 

 translation very much in the form in which I found it. It is, I think, a 

 faithful rendering of the original, both as to style and substance. With 

 a view to maintain this fidelity throughout, no attempt has been made to 

 correct the quaint spelling of some of the proper names cf persons' and 

 places, even where the same name was found to be differently spelt in 

 different places. — R. G. A.
