I hope this acknowledgment will be received, in place of frequent references and marks of quotation.
Thus to instruct the ignorant, in what it is con fessed the learned are already sufficiently informed, appears to be an humble attempt but it is one I have not found on the present subject altogether free from difficulty. I have endeavoured to arrange the work in such order, and to clothe my opinions in such lan guage as will be intelligible and instructive to the most ignorant. I have used as few technical terms as was consistent with perspicuity and decency; and such as I have thought myself compelled to introduce, I have endeavoured to explain, either in the progress of the work, or by a short glossary at the end of the volume.
