TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE GEORGE, LORD LYTTLETON, Baron of Frankley, THIS WORK IS INSCRIBED, AS AN HUMBLE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS CONDESCENSION, HUMANITY AND BENIFICENCE TOWARDS THE AUTHOR; IN WHOM IT WOULD BE PRESUMPTION TO ENLARGE ON HIS VIRTUES, WHICH ARE EVERY DAY EXERTED IN THE HIGHEST AND MOST EXTENSIVE SPHERE; OR TO SPEAK OF HIS GENIUS, WHICH NOT ONLY ADORNS THE PRESENT, BUT WILL ILLUMINATE FUTURE AGES.
