Notes

From the Author's Preface:

'Let it however not be understood, that I ever laid claim to excellence in writing or drawing; but if the plain and MANLY TRUTH, so often spoken of, and so seldom found, are of any avail - I presume to hope, that these Volumes are not entirely unworthy the attention of a BRITISH Public'.
