Excerpt from An Examined

A work similar in object to the present has been for some time past impatiently looked for from quite another quarter. The immense labors, however, which have accumulated on Mr. Campbell's hands, have rendered it utterly impracticable for him to comply with this just expectation. This is much to be regretted. The present work is not an attempt to accomplish what he would have done. It is, however, an attempt to do all that it is believed the merits of the case demand, and that, too, with a View to leaving him to prosecute far more important labors. And, while the public will hardly feel inclined to acquit thewriter for presuming to do what it was just possible even might have been done by a hand so much more competent, still, he begs that it will be remem bered that, had not this much been attempted, it is almost certain nothing would have been realized,-at least without almost superhuman efforts. Mr. Campbell has not lacked the will to gratify the public expectation, but he has certainly lacked the power.
