Mv DKAU Sir Henry, 



In giving myself the pleasure to dedicate, as I now 

 do, this work to you, it is not my intention to identify you 

 with any views of my own advocated in it. 



I simply avail myself of an opj)ortunity of paying a tribute 

 of esteem and regard to my earliest scientific friend — the first 

 to encourage me in pursuing tlie study of nature. 



I remain, 



My r>EAR Sir Henry, 



Ever faithfully yours,
