Preface by Author.
This Work first appeared in November, 1822.It was a juvenile production, and, of course,deformed with all the faults and extravagances ofnineteen. The Public, however, received it withsome degree of encouragement; and, a secondedition being now called for, I have gladly seizedthe opportunity of repairing early errors, by greatercorrectness of language and more copious information.The present volume will be found to containthrice the quantity of letterpress, and a much greatervariety of interesting details.
