    to documentary style: perhaps, indeed, it is not suffi¬ ciently adapted to the latter; but it appeared to me most in unison with the wishes of the Proprietors, to recal to their minds a Lecture, which at the time of its delivery was explained by illustrations. I felt more¬ over that I had no right, in preparing for the press at their request a Lecture which they had heard, to com¬ pile an Essay which they had not heard. Sincerely thanking them for the kind attention and support which I have on this and on all other occasions received at their hands, I take leave to Dedicate to THE PROPRIETORS OF THE LONDON INSTITUTION THIS BRIEF NOTICE OF THE RECENT PROGRESS OF SCIENCE. ¥ 4
