NOTE.—The author of this splendid piece of literary work
calls to the attention of its readers the hope that here
and there a thought may be culled which will serve as a
working-basis for one or another of its readers. In this
case I feel that the careful reader will be benefited
and this little book may go forth and be of use to the
world.
Yours very truly,
JNO. W. THOMPSON.
