(Bvcetino IT IS Hiili a ffcliiiy of ruliii taiux-, that the editors sue the scioml ohimc. ' of ' I ' he Hiiw IKR go before the |iiilili( . We hnou that it is a ( ustoin of Umii slamliiig to make an apology for e ery literary ]iro(liii lion whether it lie nee essar ' or not, anl while our work e-an hardly be accused of bein;4 literar , siill «e feel ihal our readers will think the a|)ology necessary. We fall back on that old and time-honored e ( use, hu k of time. Hoary with a ' , ' e and ballered by the almse of mm h rough liandling we hohi it up again, and lug you to ace ept it as true. We lielieve that we can really prox e this e ( use lo be alid. ' I ' he publication of Tut. Howi.k.r, wa.s not deterniineil upon dermiteh ' until late in the session. .As a result, «e were forced to crowd our work into a ver - short period. and leave out much, which shotiki not lie omitted. Under such circumstances, we feel that the result cannot be, what it should. ' et we beg of onr readers, that they overlook the most glaring of our faults and |ja.ss by w ith a kindly eye, some of the errors which mar the prodtlclion. With this brief apology we turn our little volume over to the leniler mercies of onr reailers. hoping that it will pro e interesting, an aci ount of what it stands for, rather than what it is.
