My dear Sie, 



To you who are so fvell known to the scientific 

 world, not only for your knowledge of the various 

 branches of science, but as the patron of science itself, 

 the dedication of this small work I fear is but a poor 

 token of my respect and esteem for the kind assistance 

 you have always given me. 



I am, my dear Sir, 



Yours most faithfully, 



EDWARD JOSEPH LOWE. 



Observatory, Beeston, 

 April 26, 1853.
