    TO DR. WILLIAM HOOKER, M.M. S. S. DEAR SIR, In presenting these Dissertations to the publick, I am natu- rally reminded anew of the many obligations which I owe to you, as my earliest professional instructer, and my constant friend. Ifyou find in them any thing of that disposition to accu- rate observation and rational deduction, which it was the design and tendency of your instructions and example to teach, I doubt not you will regard them with a favourable eye. That the questions, which I have here attempted to answer, are in themselves interesting and important, is sufficiently shown by the curiosity which they have excited, for a very long period of time ; and I am encouraged, by the judgment which the Boylston committee have passed in their favour, to hope that the answers that I have given will not be thought wholly unworthy of the notice of the publick. Indeed they may be said to have been already in some measure published, in having been submitted to the examination of the committee, and their decision having been made known to the world.
