DEDICATION.
DEAR MADAM,
ACCEPT as a public offering, a trifle which was long since presented to you as a private tribute of friendship. Your talents, and your worth have secured it a partial acceptance with the world. Forgive the vanity which prompts me to make known that I have been, at once, the Friend, and Prophet of your Fame; and believe me, with perfect esteem,
Your faithful, And most obedient Servant, T. S. WHALLEY.
