TO WILLIAM CHARLES MACREADY, Esq.
My Dear Sir,
There are few moments in a man's life more happy than that in which he first indulges the hope of discharging a portion, however small, of a heavy debt of gratitude. With such feelings I long since, in fancy, dedicated this Play to you; yet now I falter under a sense of the unworthiness of the offering. Let me, however, hope that as your kindness encouraged, your judgement corrected, and your genius filled up the imperfect outline, so your friendship may accept the completed work, whose greatest value to me is, that it enables me to declare how truly I am,
My Dear Sir,
Your ever Obliged
And Most Grateful Servant,
THE AUTHOR.
