DEDICATION. 



'Tis certain, brute Animals were placed amongft us for 

 .nobler Ends than juft to kill and eat, and to a Mind 

 athirft for Knowledge, as all unprejudiced are. An Ac- 

 quaintance with the A6lions, Views, and Defigns of thefe 

 Creatures muft be an higher Gratification than ever they 

 can yield in the Field or the Dining-Room ; this is a 

 Truth You have reminded our Gentry of, and offered 

 them a fair Pattern to copy after. Your Name, Sir, 

 will Hand firft in the Lift of thofe who Ihall think 

 the Title of a Philofopher, no Abatement to that of a 

 Gentleman, and for which, the V/orld is obliged to make 

 You its publick Acknowledgments : ''Tis not in my Power 

 to make You mine, for the many and great Favours 

 You have conferred on me, otherwife than by this un- 

 feigned Profeflion, how much I am, 



Honoured Sir, 



Tour moji Ohliged, 



and mofi Devoted 



Humhle Servant^
