Excerpt from The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, Vol. 1Nothing now remains but to express my sense of obligation to the kindness of numerous friends who have rendered me advice, assistance, and encouragement. To enumerate them, were it possible to do so without omission after such a. Lapse of years might have rather the appearance Of parade than of gratitude while a solitary omission would expose me to the mortifying and undeserved imputation Of ingratitude. I shall therefore name but one, - to whom indeed both the first and the last place may be fairly said to belong - and through whose introduction the far greater number of my other literary obligations have been incurred. I mean my kind friend Thomas Amyot, Esq, who from the very commencement of my undertaking to its comple tion, has rendered me, in every possible way, and with an unsparing munificence of time, labour, and patience, his own various aid, and has ever been prompt to Obtain for me, among his extensive acquaintance, the help Of others. To him, and to every other individual from whom I have received the smallest particle of assistance, I beg to offer my most cordial thanks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
