TO
SIR HENRY LUSHINGTON, BART.
I INSCRIBE THESE VOLUMES,
BY HIS PERMISSION,
AS A TRIBUTE OF AFFECTIONATE RESPECT.
I shall not venture, in accordance with modern usage, to compose an elaborate panegyric and exhaust the epithets of flattery in my Dedication.
Such an essay would be out of my power, and far beneath Sir Henry's acceptance.
The Author.
