    TO SIR JAMES M‘GRIGOR, BART. M.D. F.R.S. & K.C.TS. | DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, ETC, ETC. My pEar Sir JAMEs, A warm admiration of your unceasing and successful efforts to uphold the character and develop the talent and re- sources of the medical department of the Army, together with a grateful recollection of many acts of personal kindness, were the motives which prompted me to place former editions of this work under your auspices. The same inducements operate now with that increased force which new obligations, a longer tried friendship, and claims to respect advancing with the advance of years, necessarily create. A sixth edition of the work having been called for, I have endeavoured, by careful revision, to render it still more worthy of your patronage, and of those flattering commendations which you have been pleased to express officially. ‘To be held up as a guide to the Junior Medical Officers of the Army in the dis- charge of their arduous duties, is an honour of which I may justly be proud, and which my utmost efforts have been, and will still be, exerted to deserve. I earnestly trust that your valuable life may long be spared to direct that branch of the military service which has now, for more than thirty years, experienced the benefits of your able supervision, and gladly seize this opportunity, as well to offer my grateful acknowledgments for many favours conferred upon me personally, as to avow the high respect and esteem with which I am, My dear Sir James, Your very faithful and obliged humble servant, GEORGE GREGORY. 31, Weymouth Street, Portland Place. _ INovember 17, 1845.
