That office which I now hold has af- forded me the means of extending my pursuits, and of laying this work before the public. As the object of this book is the improvement of furgery in general, and particularly of that branch of it which is peculiarly directed to the service of the army, I am led by my situation, my duty, and my feelings, to address it, with all humility, to your Majesty. That your Majesty may long live to enjoy the love and esteem of a happy people, is the fervent wish of YOUR MAJESTY'S MOST FAITHFUL SUBJECT, AND MOST DUTIFUL SERVANT, Leicester Square, May 20,1793. JOHN HUNTER.
