    TO WILLIAM PULTENEY ALISON, M.D. F.B.S.E. PROFESSOR OF THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. My dear Sir, I inscribe this volume to you as an expression of unfeigned admiration of your character as a Physician, a Philanthropist, and a Patriot. In you the profession has long had the noble example of one who, with the success- ful cultivation of medicine, has combined the most zea- lous and enlightened efforts to improve the condition of the neglected poor: their friend in sickness; the advo- cate of their rights; and, for their sake, an expounder (and the ablest) of those great principles of political science which, by securing, universally, a legal provision for the relief of the destitute, promote the happiness and stability of nations. That your useful and honoured life may long be spared to mankind, is the sincere wish of, My dear Sir, Your faithful friend, THE AUTHOR.
