[Foreword to the Second Edition]

The present second edition is essentially a word-for-word reprint of the first. Misprints have been corrected, some stylistic oversights removed, and a few short paragraphs containing nothing but repetitions have been deleted.

The third book, which has presented quite unexpected difficulties, is now also nearly ready in manuscript. If I remain in good health, printing can begin this autumn.

London, 15 July 1893.
