The very limited number of copies comprising the First Edition of this Work were exhausted by presentations amongst the most Illustrious Individuals, – leaving only a few copies for the Author's numerous circle of friends and associates. To remove a disappointment very generally expressed by many intimate friends of the Author in this Country, he has been induced to print a Second Edition of the Work, which is now offered to the Public, with many Additions and Illustrations, – for one of which, in particular, – the plate of Sir Sidney Smith, – the Publishers are indebted to the kindness of Mr. Bentley.

Edinburgh, August 1840.
