ORR AND CO., PATERNOSTER ROW. MDCCCXLVIII. ΤΟ SIR JAMES CLARK, BART., M.D., F.R.S. PHYSICIAN IN ORDINARY TO THE QUEEN AND TO PRINCE ALBERT, ETC., ETC. MY DEAR SIR JAMES, I cannot more appropriately inscribe this Treatise, having for its object the general diffusion of sound Physiological knowledge, than to one, whose Professional eminence is founded on his enlightened application of it to the prevention and cure of Disease, and who has ever been the consistent advocate of Liberal Education. The grateful sense I entertain of many acts of personal kindness, makes me feel additional pleasure in paying this humble tribute. I remain, my dear Sir James, Your obliged Friend and Servant, WILLIAM B. CARPENTER. Bristol, Aug. 27, 1843. |
