The work is essentially a compilation from many sources, but differs from most books of that kind, first, in being based to a very large extent on materials hitherto unpublished, and accessible only through private channels of information, and secondly, in having been constructed with special knowledge of the subject and in a critical spirit. The need of such a work has long been felt by all who have interested themselves in the subject, and will be Obvious to any one who glances over the Bibliography contained in the present volume.'
