IV ADDRESS. 



As an Admirer of Science, I offer my humble acknowledg- 

 ments and thanks to " The Ladies of the British Isles/' who 

 visit our Philosophical Associations and Institutions, and, by 

 their cheering presence, do so much for the encouragement and 

 cultivation of the Sciences, and the beneficial BIAS of the 

 public taste for intellectual enjoyments, (which the elucidations 

 of TRUTH are so well calculated to inspire,) and for still more, 

 their inestimable example to the rising generation, over whose 

 destinies those fair arbiters are so happily appointed to preside. 



THE AUTHOR. 



Cheltenham, 

 6th January, 1838.
