Having printed this Text-Book with a slow pace (it being four months in the press) I have had an opportunity to detect, and indirectly to correct, many errors. Now, having the whole before me, I can discover some defects running through the whole. A mere compiler (having been the compiler of several works, I speak experimentally,) I say, a mere compiler has, comparatively, a continued "play-day" of authorship. Though I have attempted the subject matter of this work five times before, under different titles, every attempt was almost an original effort, on account of the continued accession of facts, which I was bound to include. In this edition I have attempted a larger stride than heretofore. - The new facts collected in the last two years, since additional experience has left me fewer excuses for error, and a thorough review of the most important localities, have enabled me to fill up more chasm and to demonstrate the order of superposition in more doubtful cases, than I have heretofore been enabled to do in the same period of time.
My first and most particular, request is; that the reader erase the note at the bottom of page 17. I regret its publication exceedingly. I wrote it under a degree of excitement, produced by the remarks of a friend; and it was in print before I took time to reflect on the absurdity of introducing such remarks, however just, into a text-book for youth.
