TO CHARLES CALDWELL, ESQ., M. D. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. My Dear SrR, Wherever Phrenology is known, in any region of the globe, yon are esteemed one of its most distinguished advocates. For nearly a quarter of a century, you have indefatigably expounded its principles, urged its claims on public attention, taught its practical application, and refuted its opponents. Your works have been characterized equally by profundity and comprehensive ness of thought, extent of information, and classical eloquence of style.

Every friend of the science, therefore, should feel himself deeply indebted to you for your exertions in its cause. It was this sentiment which induced me to solicit your permission to dedicate these Lectures to you; and in now doing so, I beg to express my ardent desire that your honorable career of usefulness may be prolonged to a far distant day. With sentiments of the highest respect and esteem, I am, My dear Sir, Yours sincerely, GEO. COMBE, fleic Horen, Connecticut, } the 10th of March, 1840. \
