SIE JAMES CLAEK, BAET. M.D. F.E.S. 
PHYSICIAN IN ORDINARY TO THE QUEEN AND TO PRINCE ALBERT, 
ETC. ETC. 
My dear Sir James, 
I cannot more appropriately inscribe this Treatise, 
haying for its object the general diffusion of sound Physio¬ 
logical knowledge, than to one whose Professional eminence 
is founded on his enlightened application of it to the pre¬ 
vention and cure of Disease, and who has ever been the 
consistent advocate of Liberal Education. 
> 
The grateful sense I entertain of many acts of personal 
■> kindness, makes me feel additional pleasure in paying this 
humble tribute. 
■ 
Believe me to remain, 
My dear Sir James, 
i 
Your obliged Friend and Servant, 
WILLIAM B. CARPENTER.
