1860 BENNETT BROTHERS, LONDON AND DUMBARTON W. STEWART & CO., THE HOLBORN VIADUCT STEPS, E. C., LONDON PUBLIC LIBRARY 821790 ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDEN FOUNDATIONS 1917 BENNETT BROTHERS, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, LONDON AND DUMBARTON, PREFACE TO THE PEOPLE'S EDITION. THE production or this work in the present shape is the result of a desire to make it more accessible to the general public. Two Editions have already been published; but as the price was high, the book could not reach the mass of the people. Hence this cheap edition. It is well to state that the cheaper is a reprint of the more expensive work. Indeed, it is somewhat larger: a few additions to the text having been found advisable. |
