If there be any part of the following pages which he 

 reluctantly permits to go to the press, it is that which 

 relates to himself, in the Appendix. But, as he has apr

 disrespect to the Society, were he to refuse his compliance 

 with a resolution, proposed in the most flattering manner,, 

 and unanimously adopted.
