A rthur, for his good offices in this direction. The other and principal sources drawn upon are the files of old newspapers, magazines, and other contemporary records requiring no little patience and enthusiasm to ransack. In a few instances, where information on special points has been derived from other authors, as in Professor Laughton sadmirable account of Captain Fortunatus Wright, it is acknowledged either in the text or in a foot-note. To quote the prospectus, this work is not a mere compilation, but the fruit of laborious and exhaustive original research. The utmost pains have been taken to ensure accuracy, and the reader will find the statements of more than one authority corrected.
