My dear Sir Henry,
In giving myself the pleasure to dedicate, as I now do, this work to you, it is not my intention to identify you with any views of my own advocated in it.
I simply avail myself of an opportunity of paying a tribute of esteem and regard to my earliest scientific friend—the first to encourage me in pursuing the study of nature.
I remain,
My dear Sir Henry,
Ever faithfully yours,
ST. GEORGE MIVART.
