Excerpt from A Treatise on the Nature and Treatment of Scrophula: Describing Its Connection With the Diseases of the Spine, Joints, Eyes, Glands, Etc, to Which Is Added, a Brief Account of the Ophthalmia, So Long Prevalent in Christ's Hospital Dear Sir, The motives which influence an Author, in selecting the object of his Dedication are, I suppose, in general, these three: either the desire of expressing his gratitude publicly to some one who has treated him with kindness, or a wish to conciliate the Public by an apparent union between himself and the person to whom he dedicates his Work, or, lastly, a wish to maintain, by facts or arguments, a system which has already been established by another. I am not ashamed. Sir, to own that I was actuated by all these motives when I requested your permission to inscribe these pages to you. Ever since my first entrance into St. Bartholomew's as your pupil, you have treated me with great and constant kindness, and have assisted me continually with your good opinion.
