eS" It has been deemed advisable, not to restrict the translators to a literal interpretation of the English text; hut to permit a free construction of the several papers, in a manner suited to the peculiarities of the native idiomism.

By this arrangement, it is hoped that olid instruction to the native, may be blent with agreeable information to the English reader.
