"Though nearly ten thousand copies of the last volume were printed, yet so rapid and extensive was the demand that this large impression was exhausted some time before Christmas, and the publisher received orders for thousands more than he was able to supply.  A much larger edition has this year been prepared; but still the propriety of early application for copies, as well on the present as on every future occasion, cannot be too strongly recommended."--Preface.

"Price [1]2 Shillgs."--Spine.
