In consequence of the haste with which the manuscript of the foregoing statement was prepared for publication, in a different shape, and the writer's distance from the printer, several inaccuracies have crept in, of which the most considerable are the following :—

• In page v. of preface, line 23, for providing read proving.
• In page 1, line 19, for effected read affected.
• In page 32, line 22, for Admirable read Admiral.
• In page 34, line 26, for it was such precedents read it was to such precedents.
• In page 35, line 29, omit the word that.
