I HAD INTENDED TO DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO WILLIAM PARKER FOULKE, Of Philadelphia, To whom I am indebted for all that a powerful intellect and a generous friendship could do, to give practical shape to my plans, and to insure success to an enterprise in which I had embarked, with the simple advantage of an aim, and with no better guide than the impulse of youth: but since it is denied me to pay that tribute of my admiration to one of the noblest of men, I now inscribe it to his MEMORY.
