The following pages may have a certain historical interest for some readers, since they give, as far as possible, information as to where and when the various lectures of Dr. Barker contained in this volume were given. Where it was not possible to do this, the month and year of the magazine in which they appeared is supplied; and this has also been done in the case of articles.
