MADAM,

THE PERMISSION TO DEDICATE THE FOLLOWING
PAGES TO YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS GIVES ME THE GREATEST
SATISFACTION, NOT FROM ANY VAIN IDEA THAT THEY
ARE PECULIARLY WORTHY OF SUCH EXALTED PATRONAGE,
BUT FROM THE OPPORTUNITY, WHICH IT AFFORDS, OF EX-
PRESSING MY MOST GRATEFUL SENSE OF THE UNVARYING
CONSIDERATION AND NOTICE, WITH WHICH YOUR ROYAL
HIGHNESS HAS BEEN PLEASED, FOR MANY YEARS, TO HONOUR
MY FAMILY AND MYSELF, AND ALSO THE SINCERE RESPECT
AND DUTIFUL ATTACHMENT, WITH WHICH

I IIAVE THE HONOUR TO BE,

MADAM,

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESs's
MOST GRATEFUL AND OBEDIENT SERVANT,

THE AUTHOR.
