TO MISS MINSHULL. 
Madam, 
My gratitude and inclination 
alike prompt me to dedicate to you the First Volume of 
Illustrations of Useful Plants . Had it not been for 
your kind encouragement, the Work would never have 
been undertaken. Fostered by your patronage, I trust 
it may still continue to prosper. 
I have the honour to remain, 
Madam, 
Your most grateful and humble Servant, 
M. A. BURNETT. 
49, London Street, Fitzroy Square, 
April 1st, 1842.
