Présentation de l'éditeur
The following monograph was originally printed in the year 1880. Of the copies then issued some found their way at once into the larger public libraries, while others were placed in the hands of persons believed to be interested in the subject treated of. The number of these oopies, however, all told, was quite small, and it was suggested some time ago by the editor of this series of Johns Hopkins University Studies that the results of the writers investigations were not accessible to many to whom they might be nsefhl, and that they were of sufficient interest to warrant their publication in the series named. The opportunity courteously offered by him of reaching in this manner a greater number of persons interested in studies of the kind was gladly accepted, and the treatise is now reprinted, without any change whatever from the original form. The author has deemed it important to make this explanatory statement, for nothing but the facts which have been mentioned could excuse, or even account for, the absence of reference to the numerous and valuable studies in the history of local institutions which have been pub Ushed in this country during the past six years. M. E. NEW YOBX, i Vooem r1,188S.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
