IN presenting to the public this work, I feel very sensi bly my inadequacy in appearing in the capacity of an author. Trained almost from infancy to 'a profession which Rendered mental study impossible, and having only by dint of perseveran'ce gotxzwhat'little education has fallen to my share in much the same manner that a chick en gets his breakfast - picking up a kernel of information in one corner and another in the next - all the acquire ments which I pretend to claim are based alone upon the common branches of English learning and common sense. 'yet, it seems to me, a man whoihas mastered any thing worth knowing may, if he willsimply what he has learned, Write something which it will be Of advantage to others to read. I have written what I know, and what I judge would be well fora 'others to know.
