ERRATA.
Mistakes in publications of the gravest import have been the cause of poignant lament ever since the use of moveable type. The Bible even has been misrendered. Some palliation for the errors in this volume is the existing general disorganization of printing offices, due to the demands of the Typographical Union. Such corrections as are practicable are essayed herewith, and in the index.
