TO SIR JOSEPH BANKS, BAR^T. PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY,[10] &c. &c.
&c.
SIR,
I feel the highest satisfaction in being permitted to dedicate this work
to one whose pursuits have ever been more peculiarly directed to objects
of originality, and whose scientific researches have contributed so
largely to the information and benefit of society.
The public are too well acquainted with your general knowledge in every
branch of literature, to suspect that I hold the language of adulation.
Should I attempt to do justice to a character so eminently
distinguished, my feeble efforts could only be regarded as the grateful
effusions of a mind proud of a patronage that can ensure an especial
share of public notice and protection.
I have the honour to be, very respectfully,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
J. LONG.

February, 1791._
