TO 



SIE HENRY HOLLAND, BART., M. D., 



R K. S., D. C. L., ETC., ETC. 



MY DEAR SIB 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 opportunity of paying a 

 tribute of esteem and regard to my earliest scientific 

 friend the first to encourage me in pursuing the study 

 of Nature. 



I remain, 



My dear Sir Henry, 



Ever faithfully yours, 



ST. GEORGE MIVART.
