PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION. IN preparing the present Edition for the Press, the Editors, while omitting nothing which they considered to be of practical utility, have eliminated everything calculated unnecessarily to swell the bulk and cost of the Volume. The last Edition, which was brought out under circumstances of exceptional pressure, has been thoroughly revised, and the greater part of it has been entirely re-written; every case, within the scope of the work, has been carefully noted up down to the date of publication; and in a word, no effort has been spared to retain for the present Volume the popularity which its predecessors have now for more than a quarter of a century enjoyed. February, 1885. G. O. M. E. A. W. |
