But, through some misunderstanding, of which I threw the blame on the printer, and the printer on me, the type was broken up immediately after it had been used for the journal. I was thus disappointed in my plan. This good effect, however, has re- sulted, that I looked over again what I had written, and in reprinting it am enabled to fulfd my en- gagements with interest, by presenting a somewhat less faulty composition than was actually delivered. The asperities and errors of that arose partly from too little opportunity being afforded for correction ; the deficiencies which remain are irremediable, they are to be attributed to the author's want of power, and not to the want of time given to make the offering a worthy one.
