T he reprinting of this volume recalls the time
when it was written, when we studied together, before
the serious pursuits of life were begun. I inscribe
it to you, as the just object of my pride as well as of
my affection ; and that those most naturally interested
in us may know how we have been united, so that
from the age when they begin to wonder at the
strange faces in their uncle’s book, they may learn
how much brotherly attachment adds to the value
of life.
CHARLES BELL.
