“Although this edition is styled for the modern reader, we have chosen not to mae a paraphrase but to retain the spirit of earlier editions.  Dr. Paul Bechtel, drawing from his long career in the literary field, has prepared this volume by working chiefly from an edition published in the first half of the nineteenth century by Hurst & Co. and by comparing it with other reliable editions to arrive at the best reading.”
