“This little book is intended mainly for use in schools; and it is accordingly written in very simple language. But I have some hope that those of the general public who wish to know something of the subject, but who are not prepared to go into details, may also find it useful.... I have put it in the form of a consecutive narrative, avoiding statistics and scrappy disconnected statements.”--_Preface._
