TO LEWIS A. SAYRE, M. D., WHOSE PROFESSIONAL EMINENCE IS RECOGNIZED IN BOTH HEMISPHERES, WHOSE SKILL AS A SURGEON SUFFERING HUMANITY GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGES, TO WHOSE ANATOMICAL LEARNING THE AUTHOR IS LARGELY INDEBTED, AND OF WHOSE FRIENDSHIP HE IS PROUD, This Book IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED.
Dost thou not know, my new astronomer!
Earth, turning from the sun, brings night to man?
Man, turning from his God, brings endless night;
Where thou canst read no morals, find no friend,
Amend no manners, and expect no peace.
YOUNG'S NIGHT THOUGHTS.
