All the rest will come of itself. Abler pens than mine will soon elucidate what I may have been compelled to leave dark and doubtful; and (i hope) friendly scholars will in a friendly Spirit excuse the weaknesses of a first attempt (we all know what that and rectify without bitterness any mistakes into which I may have fallen. I repeat, the object was to make it known, with reasonable correctness and a fair amount of elucidation, as speedily as might be. And accordingly this work has been written within the space of one month. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
