To the Memory of My Father
| Formerly a Soldier Under the First Empire Chevalier of the Legion of Honor |
THE LONGER I live, the better I understand the kindness of thy heart and the high quality of thy mind.
The efforts which I have devoted to these Studies, as well as those which preceded them, are the fruit of thy counsel and example.
Desiring to honor these filial remembrances, I dedicate this work to thy memory.
L. PASTEUR.
