DEAR SIR, It affords me inexpressible satisfaction to place the present Volume under your patronage and protection.

To no one indeed could a work of this kind be more appropriately dedicated than to yourself; whose acknowledged talents and attainments have peculiarly fitted you to determine, in all matters requiring sound judgment and nice discrimination ; and whose uniform devotion to the cause of literature, encouragement of rising talent, and zeal for the interests of religion and morality, have won the respectful deference and warm esteem of all that have the happiness of your acquaintance.
