Excerpt from The Correlation and Conservation: A Series of Expositions, by Prof. Grove, Prof. Helmholtz, Dr. Mayer, Dr. Faraday, Prof. Liebig and Dr. Carpernter; With an Introduction and Brief Biographical Notices of the Chief Promoters of the New Views
Dear Sir: -
It seems peculiarly appropriate that this volume should be dedicated to you. Knowing the eminent esteem in which you are held in the circles of European Science, I cannot doubt that the distinguished authors of the following essays would cordially approve this connection of your name with their introduction to the American public.
There is, besides, a further reason for this in that large coincidence of purpose which is manifest in their labors and your own. For while the pervading design of the present collection is to widen the range of thought by unfolding a broader philosophy of the energies of nature, your own comprehensive course of research - beginning with an extended series of experimental investigations in chemical physics and physiology, and rising to the consideration of that splendid problem, the bearing of science upon the History of the Intellectual Development of Europe - has powerfully contributed to the same noble end; that of elevating tho aim and enlarging the scope of scientific inquiry.
I gladly avail myself of this occasion to say how greatly I am indebted to your writings, in which accurate and profound instruction is so often and happily blended with tho charms of poetic eloquence.
