The notary's nose;

THIS TRANSLATION
IS
WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT
DEDICA TED
TO
EDWARD B. DICKINSON,
A STENOGRAPHER WHO NOT ONLY, BY HIS SKILL IN HIS ART, RELIEVED THE
TRANSLATOR OF MUCH LABOR, BUT BY HIS AMIABLE DISPOSITION,
GOOD TASTE, AND KNOWLEDGE OF MANY TONGUES, WENT
BEYOND HIS MERE PROFESSIONAL DUTY TO FREQUENTLY OFFER THE RIGHT WORD WHEN
THE TRANSLATOR HESITATED, AND
TO SOMETIMES SUGGEST A
BETTER WORD THAN THE
TRANSLATOR HAD
UTTERED.
