Preface
The flattering reception which has been accorded to the following Essay by the German periodicals to which it was sent for review in its original shape, as the Easter-Programme of the Commercial Academy of Leipsic, and the general desire for a re-issue, openly expressed by the Reviewers, and so clearly manifested by the numerous applications for copies, made to the school and myself, have encouraged me to have the Essay reprinted, per-mission to do so having been kindly granted me by the Principal of the School. The edition which is now submitted to the public has undergone a careful revisal, and some few additions have been made to the notes. To have met with the approbation of so high an authority as the Very Revd. the Dean of Westminster, augurs favourably for its success, and I avail myself of this opportunity publicly to express my warmest thanks to this distinguished scholar for the extremely kind and ready manner in which he complied with my request, though a. complete stranger to him, to bespeak for this little volume the indulgence of the English and Ameri-can public.
