PREFACE

TO

THE FOURTH EDITION.

SH457 W55 1884

THE SUCCESSIVE EDITIONS of this work have been carefully revised, with many augmentations, both of the matter and in the number of illustrations.

The latter have been done under the eye of the author, by a friend, Mr. G. LE MASURIER of Guernsey, in a manner calculated to convey to the amateur faithful representations.
