CORONER, ETC. ETC. 



DEAR SIR, 



To you I dedicate the accompanying pages, devoted 

 to the elucidation of a department of minute anatomy 

 of daily increasing interest and importance. 



I thus dedicate this work to you on two grounds ; 

 the one personal and private, the other public. 



On my mentioning the design of this work to you 

 - and you were one of the first persons to whom it 

 was mentioned you were kind enough to express 

 yourself in terms of approval and encouragement, 

 and to proffer any assistance in your power in the 

 furtherance of my undertaking. Of this conduct on 



A2
