Without doubt, however, had her life been pro­ longed, she wouU,jrom time to time, through further research and by means of opportune discO'lJeries, have made valuable additions to the work. fJ Nor can it be questioned that she regarded the result of her patient toil rather as an honest contribution to a. recognized intricate problem, to be farther elucidated by the study of others, than as a final and complete treatment of the subject. No one more readily than the Author herself would have acknowledged that there are in the book, from the very nature of the case, where information is largely gathered from unwritten family tradition, considerable matter of a tentative and even conjectural character, and probably a few assignments of individuals to groups, to be ultimately found inaccurate.
