TO THE

RIGHT HON. W. E. GLADSTONE,

CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.

SIR,

My feelings of personal respect, and admiration of your talents and principles as a Statesman, have induced me to ask your permission to dedicate to you this book.

Your sanction is the more gratifying,

as I have informed you that I have expressed opinions, on some points, not in accordance with your own.

I have the honour to be,

SIR,

Your obedient servant,

THOMAS GEORGE SHAW.

PREFACE

ΤΟ

THE SECOND EDITION.

A

SECOND EDITION of this work having been

so soon called for, has encouraged me, besides giving it a thorough revisal, to make considerable additions, which, I hope, may be found interesting and valuable.

LONDON: October, 1864.

THOMAS GEORGE SHAW.
