HAVING recently purchased a set of stereotyped plates of Volney's
Ruins, with a view of reprinting the same, I found, on examination,
that they were considerably worn by the many editions that had been
printed from them, and that they greatly needed both repairs and
corrections. A careful estimate showed that the amount necessary
for this purpose would go far towards reproducing this standard
work in modern type and in an improved form. After due reflection
this course was at length decided upon, and all the more readily,
as by discarding the old plates and resetting the entire work, the
publisher was enabled to greatly enhance its value, by inserting
the translator's preface as it appeared in the original edition,
and also to restore many notes and other valuable material which
had been carelessly omitted in the American reprint.
