DEDICATION. TO JOHN STRUTT, Esq. MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR MALDON. DEAR SIR, My admiration of your unfeigned patriotism, was not excited, but confirmed by that singular, and manly instance, which made you revered by all, who could feel for the tarnished glory of their country!—To that public virtue in the individual I esteem, this Play is disinterestedly inscribed.— I am, Sir, With great truth and regard, Your sincere, and Obedient servant H. BATE.
