TO

THE MEMORY OF

MY FATHER,

FORMERLY A SOLDIER UNDER THE FIRST EMPIRE,

AND

KNIGHT OF THE LEGION OF HONOUR.

THE LONGER I LIVE, THE BETTER DO I UNDERSTAND THE KINDNESS OF

THY HEART AND THE EXCELLENCE OF THY MIND.

TO THY EXAMPLE AND COUNSELS DO I OWE THE EFFORTS THAT HAVE

BEEN DEVOTED TO THESE STUDIES, AS WELL AS TO ALL THE WORK

I HAVE EVER DONE. AND NOW, HOW CAN I BETTER HONOUR THESE

FILIAL REMEMBRANCES THAN BY DEDICATING MY BOOK TO THY MEMORY?

L. PASTEUR.
