Editor's Preface

 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,
