TO ALEXANDER SPENCER, ESQ.
If the public would only prove as indulgent to the faults and demerits of this volume as You have ever been to those of him who wrote it, I should be as sanguine of its success as I am now happy in dedicating it to the Oldest Friend I
HAVE IN THE WORLD.
Ever yours, most affectionately,
Charles Lever.
