    In conclusion, I beg to say, that, in the midst of many inter- ruptions, from causes which will readily suggest themselves, I have endeavored, and with perhaps somewhat more than ordinary diligence, faithfully to embody in this book, the results of careful observation of facts, as they presented themselves before me in the contingencies of daily practice, or as collected and digested by others who appeared to be worthy of confidence: still, I am but too conscious that it may be, not unjustly, charged with many defects and imperfections, for the palliation of which I must trust to the kindness of the candid reader, and hope that he may be disposed to adopt the liberal and indulgent sentiment of the Eoman critic, and say:— Non ego paucis Offendar maculis, quas ant incuria fudit, Aut humana parum cavit natura.
