LINNÆAK SOCIETY.

MY DEAR SIRS,

IF I were not anxious to acknowledgeamongst the number ot those, whose useful insol-ation has in various instances tended to improve this^°riv, motives of esteem would alone induce me to in-cribe it to you. The reflection, that for ten years past,t has been sanctioned with no inconsiderable share ofpublic approbation, will not allow me to believe it un-worthy of your attention, and its conclusion affordsrae the best opportunity to testify the favour, as well as

the resnr/y. with which

I remain,

Most sincerely yours,

E. DONOVAN,
