My Lord Duke,
In dedicating to your Grace the accompanying Work, I am anxious to show how fully I appreciate the encouragement you have always given to science and literature, as well as the interest you take in Egyptian researches; and to offer a testimony of my respect, and of the gratitude I feel for much personal kindness and attention.
I have the honour to subscribe myself
Your Grace's
very obedient humble Servant,
THE AUTHOR.
