Her Majesty's Consul for Trieste,

My Dear Colleague, 



As the execution of this work — or Report, as 1 shall 

 call it — is due to your conception, encouragement, and, in a inn in degree, 

 to your patient advice to a novice, in an art in which you excel, I venture 

 to hope you will accept its dedication as a slight tribute of my high 

 regard and personal devotion. 



Your grateful friend and admirer, 



G. L. FABER, 

 FlUME, September 30, 1882.
