Had I ever imagined, before this work was be gun, that it would have extended to above half the size of what it has done, I believe I should have entirely shrunk from the task. But, hav ing once begun, one thing naturally suggested another, or one discovery made way for another, till the work assumed such a bulk as utterly precludes me, in my present state of health, from resuming the task of transcribing it. What by head-achs, and other complaints peculiar to a bi lious habit, it was even with great difficulty that what now appears was even once written over; so that it must necessarily appear under many disadvantages, though plainness and perspecuity have been aimed at through the whole.
