PREFACE.

THE present Edition will be found to differ but little from the former one, although, at the suggestion of friends, I have made a few alterations and additions, which I trust will be considered improvements.

I feel myself bound to return my sincere thanks to the Rev. Henry Williams, of Hemswell, and the Rev. Leonard Harcourt Earle, Rector of Conisholme, Lincolnshire, for their kind assistance and advice during the progress of the Edition.
