PREFATORY NOTE TO THE THIRD EDITION.

ADVANTAGE has been taken of the demand for a Third Edition of this book to add to it in several places, with a view of bringing the subject-matter up to date; otherwise, no material alterations have been made, compared with the Second Edition, it being evident that the plan on which the book has been written is one which, has met with favour from its readers and critics. The author's best thanks are due to many friends who have been good enough to give him many hints and much valuable information that has been incorporated in this new edition.

GEORGE H. HURST.
