    SIE BENJAMIN COLLINS BKODIE, BART., P.K.S., D.C.L., SERJEANT-SURGEON TO THE QUEEN, MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE OF FRANCE, <&C. &C. &C. Dear Sir Benjamin, I am deeply indebted to you for the sympathy and encouragement without which it is very unlikely that in the midst of professional engagements I should have prosecuted a daily series of physiological researches through several suc- cessive years. Whatever knowledge has been attained is therefore in no small part due to yourself, and I am happy in having been honoured with the permission to inscribe to you the following attempt to apply some of the residts to the requirements of practice. My earnest wish is that you may long be spared to enjoy your high position, and to lend your powerful aid in the furtherance of scientific research and the advancement of the public interests of our Profession. I have the honour to be, Dear Sir Benjamin, Your grateful humble servant, EDWARD SMITH.
