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 conformation of the African 
continent, promulgated in his Presidential Address to the Eoyal Geographical 
Society in 1852, and verified three years afterwards by the Author of these 
Travels.
