There are many sentences and paragraphs which I should have liked to rewrite, had it been possible, not in order to alter the views expressed, but to improve the inadequate expression.
In the new edition, however, it was not possible to introduce any alterations affecting the arrange- ment of the printed lines ; but some corrections and improvements have been made through the aid of valued correspondents and critics, especially Rev. F. Warburton Lewis, Rev. G. W. Whitaker, and the Athenceurn reviewer. Slight, but not in- significant verbal changes have been made in p. 18, 1. 8, 10, 1 1 ; 19, 1. 10 ; 27, 1. 14 ; 34, 1. 8 ; 62, 1. 15 ; 98, 1. 16; 145, 1. 5; 146, 1. 6-7 ; 211, 1. 11 ; 224, 1. 6 ; 227, 1. 3 ; 242, 1. 31 ; 263, 1. 12 ; 276, 1. 27 ; 282, 1. 1 {footnote deleted) ; 307, n. 2 {Matt.

On p. 27, 1. 14, I quoted his opinion about the solitary point on which we seem to agree ; but, as he writes that my expression " makes him responsible for what he has never maintained," I have deleted the offending words.
