THE SECOND EDITION.
G r a t i f i e d by the very favourable reception of the
first edition of this work, which has been some time
entirely exhausted, the Author endeavours to repay
^ his obligation to the Public, by presenting to it,
the present edition, in an improved form, carefully
revised, embellished by Pictorial Rlustratioiis, and at
little more than one half the cost of the former
edition.
London, March Adh, 1835.
