29X177 PREFACE. T 'HESE articles, which appeared in The North American Review during the year 1888, written by the two best known men in England and America, caused such wide-spread and universal interest that the very limited edition was soon exhausted, and has remained out of print since that time. The Publisher takes this occasion to thank The North American Review, for permission to reprint, under the protection of their copyright, and again present to the public in book form these valuable and interesting letters. New York, July, 1895. C. P. Farrell. |
