    Vlll DEDICATION, exertions, than to those who have raised it in re- spectability and public estimation by their honourable and upright conduct; and surgeons who feel a just pride in the profession they have adopted, will always regard you as being eminently distinguished in your private, as well as your professional, character, and as offering us an example of proud integrity, no less deserving our respect and imitation than the acquire- ments with which it is so happily combined. The Public and the profession are grateful to you for your conduct and for your exertions, but I cannot be content with expressing my sense of gratitude as one among many,—an humble member of an import- ant class ; but must, as an individual, bear testimony to the value of those precepts you inculcated, and those habits you enforced, to which any little merit this work may possess is greatly owing; and it would be inexcusable in me to omit my warmest acknow- ledgments for the kindness I have invariably expe- rienced while under your roof, and on all occasions. In being permitted to dedicate to you the fruit of that knowledge you implanted, I procure for it the sanction of a patronage which cannot be otherwise than useful, and I obtain an opportunity of offering a slight proof of the respect and esteem with which I shall always remain Your very sincere and obliged Friend and Pupil, ExETRR, Dec. 19th, 1820. J. H. JAMES.
