1831.

The first series of these Letters, consisting of five, appeared in the

months of September and October of the present year; five others,

written in a more popular form, were inserted in a Newspaper from time

to time, in the course of this month:--a few additions and alterations,

preparatory to their appearance in the shape of a pamphlet, have been

made.

If, at a moment like the present, they prove in any manner useful to the

public, the writer will feel great satisfaction.
