    TO JAMES WARDROP, Esq., F.R.S., F.Z.S. SURGEON EXTRAORDINARY TO THE KING, ETC. ETC. MY DEAR SIR, As I owe to your conversation the suggestion of many of my researches on Asphyxia pestilenta, and more especially on the indications necessary to effect a distinction between an epidemic and an infectious disease, I feel an increased pleasure in being able to pay the tribute of a dedication to one to whom I am, in so many other respects, deeply indebted. I remain, my dear Sir, With respect and esteem. Very sincerely yours. London, February 1832, W. AINSWORTH,
