Synopsis

PREFACE. NINE ycal'S have elapsed since the manuscript of the earlier part of this History was placed in my hands; seven years since the first volume was published}. Some words of apology are needful for this delay.

Rapid an_d efficient fulfilment needed the single-hearted devotion of one to whom this History would have been the first and not a secondary duty. To complete the work, as I could have wished it completed, would have needed the undivided energies, the fresh and undisturbed intellectual power of several years' labour.
