    I must apologise for the many omissions, errors, redundancies, and other faults with which I am only too conscious that my work abounds. Fresh from its completion I feel, perhaps not unnaturally, how much better I could do it were I, from the standpoint of my present experience, now to rewrite it. But this is perhaps a delusion. At any rate I can only take credit for what I have done, and not for what I conceive myself capable of doing. The tree must be judged by its fruits. In conclusion, I beg leave to record my sincere thanks to my friends Drs. H. Donkin and Greenfield for the kind and valuable assistance I have received from them in the progress of this work through the press. They have each read and criticised nearly every page ; and I owe it to them that many mistakes have been con-ected, many omissions supplied, and that the reader has been spared the infliction of some grammatical inaccuracies and no little careless spelling. 1 ] Old Buulington Stheet : August 1876.
