ΤΟ GEORGE TICKNOR, ESQ. OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. MY DEAR MR. TICKNOR, I am glad to have your permission to dedicate these volumes to you, in remembrance of the many happy days spent in your society, and in that of your family and literary friends at Boston; a remembrance which would be without alloy, were it not for my frequent regrets that the broad Atlantic should separate so many congenial souls whom we both of us number among our friends in Europe and America. Believe me, With feelings of great regard, Ever faithfully yours, London, June 12. 1845. CHARLES LYELL. |
