PREFACE

TO THE SECOND VOLUME,

PROTRACTED ill health, and other circumstances above the control of the Author, have delayed the publication of this volume to a time much beyond that at which it was his original intention that it should appear; and he trusts that the Subscribers, as well as the Public, will pardon him for this involuntary delay.

In the Preface to the first volume he acknowledged the valuable services rendered to him by a countryman, whose researches have been of great assistance in the composition of this work. He has only to add, that as their respective views on many subjects connected either with religion or politics are materially different, nay, on some points diametrically opposed, the responsibility for the opinions expressed in this work must entirely rest with himself.
