## Summary

These suggestions were undertaken in the hope that they would not prove to be a work of supererogation. In some instances these anticipations, in the nature of things, will be disappointed. There are authors whose care and precision, in the preparation of their manuscripts, and the reading of their proofs, may put to shame the work of editors and printers. As help to such as these, the book is not intended. It is merely hoped that it may interest them, and that they, perhaps, will see how it might have been made better.
