Abstract
MAY I first acknowledge the gentle kindliness with which my early teacher and friend, Sir Robert Ball, has pointed out my error in quoting from the old edition of his work. I much regret that I did not make further inquiries, but I was satisfied when the library clerks at Trinity College, Dublin, told me that if there had been any alteration in the text, they would have received a copy of the second edition. It appeared from Sir H. Howorth's letter that the mistake originated with the publishers, who erroneously informed the library agent that the second edition was a mere reprint, and therefore refused to supply a copy.
