TO 



I 



LATE PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY IN RUTGERS MEDICAL 

 COLLEGE, NEW YORK. 



SIR, 



I dedicate this little volume to you, as a testimony of my 

 respect for you as a man of learning, and especially in ac- 

 knowledgmeht of your distinguished character as a teacher of 

 anatomy. 



I regret that ill health has compelled you to retire from a 

 sphere of duty, in which you were doing so much good, and 

 acquiring so much fame. 



I consider you a conspicuous instance of what genius, in- 

 dustry, and honourable ambition will accomplish; an example 

 which the American medical student should ever be proud to 

 follow. 



Great interest is felt by the medical profession and others 

 in the restoration of your health. I partake largely of that 

 feelingj and though personally a stranger to you, I am happy 

 and sincere in assuring you, of the great respect of 

 Sir, your obedient, 



And very humble servant, 



THOMAS HENDERSON. 



Washington, November, 1828.
