We respectfully offer a brief explanation regarding the illustrative cuts that appear in this little work. Photo- types were made for the book, but when all else was in readiness for the compositors, these were found to be of wrong size ; they were therefore discarded, and, under press of time, a substitute was sought in the free-hand platae appearing in the text. We are well aware of their many imperfections ; but we venture to present theni as they are rather than delay the issuance of the book during the time requisite for the prepara- tion of other engravings. i vikk.
