Excerpt from The Mistakes We Make: A Practical Manual of Corrections in History, Language, and Fact, for Readers and Writers

The Pearl, or The Pearl of the Diver, in which he pointed out a multitude of errors com mouly made by the educated people of his day. Very likely among the lost works of Solomon there was one of the same kind. Prophets have arisen from time to time throughout the ages.

It is to be hoped that no errors will be found in a book which aims to correct errors. Yet many may cry, Physician, heal thyself. The editor can only say that he has endeavored to stick to accuracy, but if others discover slips that he has made he will be glad to have them pointed out.
