To save time, I beg of you to consider at once that I have made in due and most approved form all the requisite and appro¬priate apologies and excuses for presuming to read a Paper before you, and that I have told you in all modesty that, despairing of deserving any credit from my own merits, I throw myself entirely upon your kind indulgence. Knowing you will not grudge me this muchperhaps a little for your own sake, as well as mineI at once proceed to the subject of this Paper.
