Dear Sirs We are not wholly unac-
qualnted with the vexations which attend edto-
rial life Of the constant demands or claims
npon the attention and time of Editors of Week
ly Newspapers, to say nothing of Dailies, the
general public consider, in fact know, but little.
Publishers of the most valuable books are often
assured by Editors, to whom the same have been
sent for review, that press of business troubles
forbade their giving this or that work the notice
due to its real merits-that they had not in fact,
the time to prepare suitable article for the first
forthcoming issue. of their journals, etc. We
fully appreciate the reasonableness of all this
and in pursuance of the suggestion, indeed the
request, of an able but overworked reviewer OF
books, we caused the notice below to be outlined
for him, and now offer it here as generally (but
simply Suggestive. 1t may serve to relieve the
trials, of much of the labor of review. And we
offer this without apology therefor, because we
are perfectly confident that the Book, herewith
presented will bear the light of the severest
scrutiny, as to the facts with which it purports
to deal, its matter in short, and its typographical
execution.
