Acknowledgment should here be made of the valuable assistance rendered
by Drs. W. H. Bigler and John N. Mitchell, in carrying the work through
the press; and of the kindness of Mr. J. H. Gemrig, in the loan of the
electrotype plates which embellish the preliminary chapter.

Conscious that the work is not without defects, it is still presented to
the profession, with the hope that it may be found to answer the purpose
for which it was designed.
