Excerpt from Treatise on the Comparative Geography of Western Asia, Vol. 1 of 2: Accompanied With and Atlas of Maps
Sire,
When I presumed to solicit the honour of dedicating a work to your Majesty, commenced under the auspices of your royal father, I considered that I was fulfilling a duty to departed worth, by placing under your Majesty's high protection the labours of a revered parent; and the gracious manner in which your Majesty was pleased to grant my request will ever be a source of pride and gratification. The lamented Author has left on record, that it is to the munificence of your Majesty's royal father, and to his zeal for the improvement of science, that the Public are indebted for the appearance of this work.
