assumes. We might also have given additional interest to our,
narrative by introducing more plates than, we have been able to
insert; but our number has been (we believe necessarily) limited,
and we may add that the selection, of those which appear might
have been. better if we had known, before the drawings went to. the.
engraver, that we should have been obliged to leave out so many of
them.
Something should be said to account for the delay which has taken
place, in publication since the work was first announced. We
may state that, so. far as we are ourselves concerned, more, than
three parts of the MS. was finished at least two years ago ; and that
the remainder was only kept back because it could not be completed
till the first portion was printed.
We subjoin the errata which we have been able to detect in a hasty perusal of the Narrative after
the whole was printed off. There may possibly, however, be others which have escaped us.- The few
errors which occur in some of the passages quoted from foreign languages, we have not thought it
necessary to include in this list, since the proper readings will be obvious to all who understand them,
and it will be unnecessary to point them out to those who do not.
