PREFACE
The original edition of my work was submitted to the judg­ment of the public without preface, for I must agree with the view of Thomas Hughes, that a preface is unnecessary if an author is content to have his aim read in what he has written.
I do not depart from this view now in desiring to acknowledge the very kindly appreciation accorded to the first edition by the representative critics of the press and by the public, and my particular indebtedness to the many friends who have taken pains to furnish me with desired information and valuable illustrations.
I may further note simply that the edition now offered has been thoroughly revised, enlarged, and brought up to date, with the addition of a number of new and interesting illustrations.
GARDNER F. WILLIAMS.
