p.viiPREFACE

It is with some hesitation that Igive my husband’s last book to the world.  It was intype when he died, but he had no time to correct even the firstproofs, and doubtless he would have made many changes, if not inhis views at least in his expression of them.  Mr. Bartramhas verified the quotations and dates with infinite care, and forthis he has my warmest thanks.  For the rest I can but askthose who differ from the author to remember the circumstances inwhich the work has been published.
