F.R.S. &c. &c.

HUNTERIAN PROFESSOR IN THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF

SURGEONS OF ENGLAND.

My dear Owen,

IN dedicating to you this little book, which would never have appeared in its present form without your suggestion and encouragement, I have only to hope that it will not be deemed entirely unworthy of association with your name.

I am,

My dear Owen,

Your sincere friend,

W. J. BRODERIP.
