    TO THE DOWAGER COUNTESS OF CORK AND ORRERY. Madam, Your high talent and venerable age demand my respectful homage, and the dedication of this work in particular is due to your enlightened opinion of the Medical Profession; since you are pleased to attribute your prolonged life, and your extraordi- nary health, to the continued care of that Profes- sion, notwithstanding your frame and constitution have been delicate from infancy. That your superior faculties may long continue unimpaired, to grace the elevated circle in which you move, is the sincere wish of Your Ladyship’s faithful servant, ANTHONY CARLISLE.
