Abstract
READERS of this volume will probably be divided into two classes, those who are pleased with any description of a subject, however disconnected, and those who wish the whole of the ground to be covered, even though many details may only be slightly touched upon. To the former the book will offer much pleasant reading, but it is likely that the latter will be disappointed with the treatment of the matter as it is here presented.
