H E Author is far too conscious of the immensity of his subject, and the limits of his own capacity, to doubt that many, and it may be great, errors lie, hidden from him alone, in these pages. His mainstay is the hope that these failures will prove to be rather in the detail than the general effect of the pictures he has drawn.
