Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I venture to claim for this book four features of its own, viz.; 'the Tabular Statement of Methods,' slightly altered in this edition in consequence of a remark by Mr. W. Banister; the explanations of Pricking, in Chapter XVII. And of the manner in which Peals are printed in Chapter XVIII. To these I have alluded above.
