Is affectionately offered as a Token of Gratitude for the kind interest he has 

 always taken in the Author's pursuits and welfare ; and to express admiration 

 of his eminent scientific attainments, nowhere more strongly evidenced tlan 

 by the striking hypothesis respecting the physical conformation of the African

 Society in 1S52, and verified three years afterwards by the Author of these 

 Travels.
