The ¿attering approval of the public press, the favourable manner in which the volume was received by the public, and the sale of a large impression in a comparatively brief space, have proved the correctness of these anticipations, and have induced the author to publish the present edition, which, beside a large increase of letter-press, contains a new frontispiece, with nearly one hundred new wood engravings.
