The work, though necessarily incomplete from want of data, and faulty as a composition from the writers inexperience as an author, will, it is hoped, supply in some measure the void in literature, and the want of any book of reference, as regards the shoddy-trade ;and serve as the basis of a better treatise o Hthe subject, on the part of some one more competent to the task, and possessing leisure to devote to the undertaking.
