We claim superior excel-lence in our systematic manner of collecting material by workers inspecialties; in the division of the subject matter into distinct and ap-propriate chapters; in the subdivision of the individual chapters intotopics, and in the ample and comprehensive index. We also, withpride, call the attention of the public to the superb mechanical execu-tion of the volume. While we acknowledge the existence of unavoid-able errors, we have prepared a work fully up to the standard of ourpromises, and as accurate and comprehensive as could be expectedunder the circumstances.
