“This little book is intended mainly for use in schools; and it is
accordingly written in very simple language. But I have some hope that
those of the general public who wish to know something of the subject, but
who are not prepared to go into details, may also find it useful.... I
have put it in the form of a consecutive narrative, avoiding statistics
and scrappy disconnected statements.”--_Preface._
