It is feared that even now many errors have escaped the vigilance of the corrector, though he has been obliged to recommend the reprinting of nearly one hundred pages in that part of the work which had been finished before the present Printer was employed.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
