"With respect to the translation, the present editor has done little more than compared that of Dr. Swan with the original ... But with regard to his notes ... the multifarious improvements which have occurred since that period ... have rendered it necessary to rescind the greatest part of them; only lettins such, or a part, stand, as seemed to be consistent with the rational practice of this day."--Pref.
