About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ...so was somewhat selfish, and here you have it: --Dempster's History being a book of general reference, I happen to be very frequently consulted on-passages in this author, which, in the present edition, are so miserably perverted, that in; many instances it requires some ingenuity and critical skill to guess what Dempster must have written.

Now, the next best thing I can do, since I did not read the proofs, is from time to time to notice in your columns such blunders as are brought before me, and I hope time will be saved, and fruitless discussion avoided, by referring future inquirers to such passages as I shall have given the correction of in the Mercury. Now for a few samples.--A few days ago, the following passage was exhibited to me; the applicant deemed it rank nonsense, ...
