INTRODUCTION. ] ^ Xxix 



contained in the Great Exhibition Catalogue^ I 

 observed a few inaccuracies and deficiencies, wiiich 

 I have taken the liberty of correcting and supplying, 

 in an Appendix to the second volume ; which I 

 trust may not be found a useless Supplement. 



In closing this Introduction, I feel it incumbent 

 on me to express my thanks to the Governor-General 

 of India and the Board of Administration in the 

 Punjabj for the Pension they have honored me with, 

 in consideration of my long medical services to the 

 Maharajh Runjeet Sing, and his successors. 



This Pension, added to the savings of a laborious 

 life, secures me a moderate income in my retire- 

 ment ; and enables me to devote the profits of this 

 work, be they great or small, to the Educational 

 establishments of the Saxon colony in Transyl- 

 vania — my native country..
