DEAR SIR,

Permit me to dedicate to you the result of many years' observation and study in researches to which you have devoted a great part of your life-to express, at the same time, a grateful sense of your personal kindness to me, and to pay that homage which is due to the most distinguished writer of his age on the subjects which I have endeavoured to investigate.

May I thus be allowed to connect with my work a name which will be handed down to posterity as that of one who, by elucidating the causes of the most severe of temporal calamities, and the means of its alleviation, has deserved the gratitude of mankind.

I remain,

DEAR SIR,

Your obliged and faithful servant,
J. C. PRICHARD.
