PRKFATOKV XOTK.
A FEW words l.y way ,.r oxplanatio... In l.oth the Kiifrlish
and the A.iu-ri.-an edition of Hodgson's "Errors in the- I'so „f
Knglisli," the errors are iiulieated and ihe eorreetions nfton
suggested. In tl.e present edition, the Cana.lian editor has
ren.edied th.s obvious defeet in a book intended lor elass-nse •
while, by appending to eaeh sentenee the number of the page
>n the Knglish edition in u hieh it oeeurs, he has enabhd the
teaeher to avail himself of the explanations given in the latier.
He has also, he believes, iner '^ed the value of* (he. book
by rearranging the matter to ...u the eourse in Cauadian
schools, and by adding exercises on those subjVots in whi.h the
English edition has proved to he defective. The growim^ i,,.-
portance of -Practical English " and the fa.-t that the original
edition has been recommended by the Education Department
<.f Ontario render it unnecessary for him to apoIo-N/c f,.,-
adding another to the excellent manuals on this sul^Jcet already
in use in the schools of the Dominion.

1». In Spain frcoduni of t!ioi-l,t, or. at Icasl, tho five expres-
sion of it, has been so elosely fettered, that science in its strict-
est sense has made little pro^JVss in that unhappy eountry. 75.
1(». No one as yet had exhibited the structure of tlie imnian
kidneys, Vesalius ha\iii,u' only examined them in do-s. 7:,.
11. His tivatmenr, of Kdwiii ,lame>, who had >.r>l,aniefidly
abused the .piestionable privih-c of his prote>.sioii to .nKsiioIi
ids intej,M-ity as an opiM.sinn- witness, was not only for-iveii. but
even justitied by his ^•enel•oll^ \ ictim. 7:,.

that she seized the deceased by the throat, and she f( 11. .•nul
when she jrot up she was lookiii- for somethin- to .trike her
with, and uponthisshe strnck thedeceased a l>low on the I br.,at,

hi-h a pit.d. of belief, and as o.,eat a de-ree of constaiicv aii.l
endurance, by stories related about miracles as by ih.ise of
v.liich they liave ocular (h'lnonstration. 70.
U. It is probable that be (Mazzini| woul.l have -rcatlv in-
creased his reputation by ^n-acefiiliy and i-romptlv viddin-'to i
