    is that the modern writers have preserved most of the valuable information contained in the earlier, and have likewise contributed to enlarge our stock. They have also (as might be expected) separated the sterling matter from much dross, though it must, perhaps, be admitted that there is in many of them even too large a proportion of irrelevancy. Some of it may be fairly ascribed to the different economy of other countries, rendering discussions necessary there, which are quite superfluous to the British practitioner. In pursuing my task, I have endea- voured to gather useful information from sources where it was unexpected, as well as in quarters where it had been forgotten; and many facts applied to the elucidation of these Principles have been literally found in the Chaos of recorded occurrences. London, July, 1821.
