Dedication
TO WASHINGTON IRVING, ESQ.
MY DEAR SIR,
In early boyhood the charms of literature
first broke upon me through the productions
of your pen; gratitude, therefore,
as well as respect and admiration, induces
me to dedicate to you the following compositions
of one who also warmly appreciates
the treasures which you have added
to the English language.
Believe me, my dear sir,
Very gratefully and sincerely
Your ob't servant,
Very gratefully and sincerely
Your ob't servant,
THEODORE S. FAY.
New-York, June 10, 1833.
