ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FOURTH EDITION.
Reading edition
The only changes that have been made in this edition are corrections of the press, the need of which has been discovered since the third edition was issued. For a few of these I have been indebted to the very carefully annotated American edition of Mr. Bagehot’s works brought out at Hartford, Connecticut, by Mr. Forrest Morgan, of the Travellers’ Insurance Society. In some cases I think that the American editor has missed Mr. Bagehot’s meaning, and have not, therefore, accepted his corrections.
