READER IN CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM NIVERSIT WO VOLUMES VOL. I WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS MDCCCLI 917 JOT TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR EDMUND HEAD, BART., LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK, &c. &c. DEAR SIR EDMUND, I dedicate these volumes to you, partly because they contain, among other matters, the observations I made during a lengthened Tour through the province of which you are the Governor, and in the prosperity of which you feel so lively an interest. But I do so chiefly as a mode of testifying the respect and regard I entertain for yourself and your family, and as affording me an opportunity of expressing my sense of the many acts of kindness I experienced during a prolonged stay at Fredericton, under your hospitable roof. Believe me, DEAR SIR EDMUND, with great respect, Your obedient Servant, JAMES F. W. JOHNSTON. 253030 |
