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. The whole point Of this book lies in the letters which it contains; and it might therefore have seemed advisable to leave the reader untroubled by an introduction to gather that point from the letters themselves. The material is, however, in form and in subject Of SO un usual a kind that it has been thought necessary to explain something Of its origin and its authors, and even to touch upon some of the problems which the letters so vividly Show to exist.
