PREFACE
THE plan pursued in the following pages
is to give, under each topic, a succinct state-
ment of the facts, embodying the lead-
ing points of information necessary to a
clear view ; and to follow this with quo-
tations from some well-known historians,
indicating briefly their judgment upon the
whole case, or upon controverted points
thereof.
Several new chapters and some fifty
quotations have been added in the re-
vision. It has not been deemed advis-
able to enlarge the treatment of any of
the topics, inasmuch as the merit sought
for the book is brevity. 'A number of foot-
notes, however, have been added.
