TO
The Lord Scarsdale.
My Lord,
With becoming gratitude for your Lordship’s condescension in granting such a noble Asylum to a Stranger, I humbly presume to shelter this Translation under your Lordship’s Patronage.
If I have been able to do justice to my Author, your Lordship’s accurate Jugment, and fine Taste, will naturally protect his Work: But I must rely wholly on your known Candour and Goodness for the pardon of many imperfections in the language.
I am, with the most profound respect,
My Lord,
Your Lordship’s
Most obliged, most obedient, and most humble Servant,
Henry Fusseli.
