MY DEAR SIR, It is to your friendship that I owe the idea and the possibility of publishing this little work in a language not my own. With rare kindness and a disinterestedness still more rare, you have placed at my disposal your hours of leisure and your skilful and indefatigable pen. The book is yours already, and I but renew your title to it by begging you to accept this DEDICATION, as a testimony of my heart-felt gratitude, and at the same time as a souvenir of the long but pleasant hours of labor which you have so kindly shared with me to the last. THE AUTHOR. |
