Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. It is my goal to preserve this historic work while adding historical documents which precede and succeed the original manuscript. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in my edition. I have attempted, however, to repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical work.
