Excerpt from The Health of Nations, Vol. 1 of 2: A Review of the Works of Edwin Chadwick, With a Biographical Dissertation

Dear Mrs. Chadwick,

When in the olden times our forefathers desired to perpetuate the memory of a man who had rendered great services to his country and age, they were wont to include in the record of his name and eminent deeds, the name also of her, his chosen companion, whose talents, virtues, and affections were the truest treasures of his life.

Permit me, then, in like manner, to unite, in this dedication, your name with these memoirs of the learning, industry and beneficent genius of your distinguished husband.
