The Author's Reflections and Conclusion
*.* _To guard the work against some apparent anachronisms, it
is proper to state, that the substance of the following Pages
appeared in various Numbers of the Monthly Magazine, between
the Years 1813 and 1816. In reprinting, in this form, many
interpolations have been made, and some subjects of a
temporary nature have been omitted: but it was often
impossible, in treating of local situations, to avoid some
reference to temporary circumstances._
