    To C. C. FELTON, Esq. Professor in Harvard University, Cambridge. My Dear Sir, It is to your friendship that I owe the idea and the possibili- ty of publishing this little work in a language not my own. With rare kindness and a disinterestedness still more rare, you have placed at my disposal your hours of leisure and your skilful and inde- fatigable pen. The book is yours already, and I but renew your title to it by begging you to accept this dedication, as a testimony of my heart-felt gratitude, and at the same time as a souvenir of the long but pleasant hours of labor which you have so kindly shared with me to the last. THE AUTHOR.
