Beschreibung:
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In conclusion, my readers' forbearance is asked for all faults of style and composition, and for the incomplete manner in which many of the subjects are treated, and I would have them note that the whole was compiled by one who had no previous expei'ience of such work, and who, full of public and private business, had comparatively little time at his disposal, except that obtained by a free expenditure of midnight Oil.
