ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SECOND EDITION.

A NEW edition of this volume having been called for, I have availed myself of the opportunity, thus afforded me, of revising the text and notes, and of correcting the errors which they contained, as well as of adding some important doctrines established by the authorities, which have been published since the former edition was prepared.
