14 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
institutions which it appears to me most desirable to enrich in this manner.
§ 10. I have only to add that the plates of the present volume have been carefully re-etched by Mr. Cuff, retaining, as far as possible, the appearance of the original sketches, but remedying the defects which resulted in the first edition from my careless etching. Of the subject of the ninth plate, I prepared a new drawing, which has been admirably engraved by Mr. Armytage.1 The lettering, and other references, will, I hope, be found more intelligible throughout.2
1 [In ed. 2, and other later eds., the frontispiece.]
2 [Owing to the blackness of the impressions from the plates in ed. 1, the numerals were sometimes difficult to decipher.]
