IV DEDICATION. 



You know the circumstances of haste 

 under which it has been written, and I trust, 

 in consequence, much to your kind indulgence 

 for its many imperfections ; but should the 

 Volume be found to contain any new or 

 interesting particulars, I shall have the 

 greatest satisfaction in acknowledging that 

 your great kindness, and the facilities and 

 protection you afforded me, alone enabled 

 me to collect and supply them. 



With sentiments of the deepest respect 

 and gratitude, 



I am, 



MY DEAR MR. BROOKE, 



Your most obedient and humble Servant, 



HUGH LOW. 



LEYDEN, 



Dec. 13, 1847.
