Excerpt from The Eye-Witness, and His Evidence About Many Wonderful Things MY dear fbwthese papers owe their (instance in some sort to you, inasmuch as it was at your suggestion and in your company that I went to see the first of the many wonders, exhibitions, failures, and succesjses which are here described. Who knows - if you had not stimulated my curiosity by a most inviting description of the Talflng Fish, and its conver sational and other social qualities - who knows whether I should have gone to see that afliicted animal, and who knows, if I had not gone to see it, whether the idea of the Eye witness papers would ever have occurred to me Apart then from the strong desire which I feel to convey to you some mark of my regard, there does seem, in the fact which I have just mentioned, a good reason why I should dedicate this volume to you.
