Only sometimes, in productions which realise immediately a profound influence and enforce a change in taste, we are actual witnesses of the moulding of an unforeseen type by some new principle of association.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
