DEDICATES THIS WORK.

Since you are most famous for the gifts of your intellect, you love all the fruits of genius, even those of modest quality. Accept, therefore, these first fruits which we have gathered with diligence from the gardens of Machaon the medical arts and offer to you. In this way, the love for Husanus and Hübner will become better known throughout the world, while the day brings better things to them.
