Professor Cleland interested himself in the reproduc- 

 tion of the three photogravures, two of JOHN HUNTER 

 and one of VESALIUS. 



I am indebted to Messrs. T. and R. Annan 

 and Sons, Glasgow, for the superb manner in which 

 they have executed these photogravures. The photo- 

 gravure of what I venture to call " The Queen's 

 John Hunter " is magnificent.

 I am indebted to my friends Mr. A. E. Shipley, and

 Birch, Sir J. Burdon-Sanderson, G. D. Thane, M. Verworn,

 Patrizi, of Modena. I have also to thank my friends 

 Professor C. S. Sherrington and Professor A. D. Waller
