    to James Russel, escl. professor of clinical sur- gery IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. MY DEAR SIR, IF the following Observations had been of that importance in respect of science, as to have made a particular dedication of them necessary or proper ; and if I had been to select a Patron of distinguished literary endozvments, and of extensive and correct professional ac- quirements, there is no one who would have sooner occurred to me than yourself . Sentiments hozvever prompting an address less formal, and therefore, I trust, to you not less agreeable, induce me, in a manner more fa- miliar and more sincere, to acknozciedgc my ob- ligations to .you for many instances of your private friendship ; and to thank you for the en- couragement you gave me on the present occa- sion, without which I probably neither would have undertaken, nor accomplished this little work. I am. Dear Sir, With much regard, Your fait If id and obedient Servant, JAMES HAMILTON. EPINBURGH, 1st NOV. 1805.
