TO THE

REV. W. CURETON, D. D.

CHAPLAIN IN ORDINARY TO THE QUEEN, AND CANON OF WESTMINSTER.

MY DEAR DR. CURETON,

You might justly claim this Volume, since it is to you that

we owe the splendid edition of the original Syriac. I have the

further pleasure of offering it you, as a slight acknowledgment

of the assistance I have derived from you in my studies.

Believe me to be,

Yours very truly,

R. PAYNE SMITH.
