TO 



MISS BUEDETT COUTTS, 



MADAM, 



THE numerous services which you have rendered, 

 and the interest you have shown in the calamitous 

 epizootic which at this moment decimates the noble 

 herds of England, have prompted me to dedicate the 

 following pages to you, satisfied that I am only giving 

 public expression to the homage felt for you by many of 

 your fellow-countrymen. 



I have the honour to be, Madam, 



With respect, your obedient servant, 



H. BOURGUIGNON.
