TO MISS JOANNA BAILLIE.

Dear Madam,

In dedicating a Volume of Tragedies to the Author of the Dramas on the Passions, who can be more aware, than I am, of the hazardous comparison to which I subject myself? that consideration, however will not deter me from thus publicly expressing my high admiration of your poetic powers, and the enjoyment that I have long experienced from a friendship, which has convinced me that the qualities of your heart enhance those of your genius.

WILLIAM SOTHEBY
