PREFACE.

The following sketches represent for the most part work done by the students in the upper classes of Trinity College. It has not been thought wise to be too stringeut in reforming the style of these pieces, but pains have been taken to ensure the reliableness of the facts presented. The work of collecting them was begun with some hesitation, but it is now an assured fact that they will appear regularly in the future.
