DEDICATION.
To the Trustees, Provost, Vice Provost, &c.
Gentlemen,
It is not without great expectations from your candour and indulgence that I am encouraged to lay this little Poem at your feet.
I do not flatter myself that your institution will hereby gain any additional lustre, but I would take this opportunity of publicly acknowledging my affection and gratitude to that seat of Science.
May all your undertakings for its advancement meet with more than expected success; and may it never want friends to support it with equal zeal, but greater abilities, than I can boast.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your much obliged
And humble servant,
F. H.
