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 than by the striking hypothesis respecting the physical con- 

 formation of the African continent, promulgated in his Presidential 

 Address to the Royal Geographical Society in 1852, and verified three 

 years afterwards by the Author of these Travels.
