VB HARVARD LIBRARY 046*84 Copyright, 1883, BY WILLIAM HOPKINS TILLINGHAST All rights reserved. TWENTY THIRD IMPRESSION The Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass., U. S. A. PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION. THE appearance of a ninth edition of this work may not unfairly be taken as an indication of approved usefulness; whereat a translator may without breach of decorum express gratification. He takes the chance, also, to thank those readers who have notified him of errors. All discovered errors are here corrected, and it is hoped that any which have escaped detection will be made known by whoever may find them. |
