INDEX

TO THE LAST TWENTY-FOUR NUMBERS.

[NOTE. It was the Author's original design to have continued his Work till it
had reached several Volumes so an Index was given to the first Fifty-two
Numbers, which was intended to form the Volume I:-but having been compelled
by illness to discontinue his labours at the conclusion of the succeeding Twenty-
four Numbers,-which would not have formed a Second Volume of sufficient
