ogy therefore can be necessary for re-
printing such book in this country; for
the press does not furnish substitute
for it. But, there is SO much theoT etical
su -gest;on-so much abstruse calculation
so much fact OF dubious authority-and
30 much dubious vaIidity-that notes and
illustrations are absolutely necessary,
not merely to render the book more use.

Under these impressions, / thought fit
10 write notes in illustration land some
