Abstract

THE scope of this work, which runs to nearly 1600 pages. is defined in the preface, where it is stated to be “essentially a compilation from many sources,” but differing from most books of that kind, “first, in being based to a very large extent on materials hitherto unpublished, and accessible only through private channels of information, and secondly in having been constructed with special knowledge of the subject and in a critical spirit.”
