ON. THE PRESERVATION OF THE HEALTH OF BODY AND MIND. BY FORBES WINSLOW, MEMBER OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF LONDON; ΤΟ SIR JAMES CLARK, BART., M.D., F.R.S. PHYSICIAN IN ORDINARY TO THE QUEEN, AND TO THE PRINCE ALBERT, &c. &c. &c. DEAR SIR, I FEEL much honoured by your kind permission to bring out this little work under your distinguished auspices. I cannot do so without availing myself of this opportunity of expressing the high opinion which I entertain of your pre-eminent scholastic, literary, and medical acquirements. In all subjects connected with the preservation of the public health, and the prevention of disease, I know you take a deep interest. A work, therefore, which professes, however humbly, to develop principles in connection with these important topics, could not be more appropriately dedicated than to yourself. That you may long live to enjoy the exalted and well-merited honours conferred upon you (with the unanimous approval of your professional brethren) by our Most Gracious Sovereign, is the Sincere wish, dear Sir, of your humble 45, Guildford Street, Russell Square. 1842. And obedient Servant, FORBES WINSLOW. |
