DEDICATION.
Trieste, March 1875.
My Dear Sir,
Be pleased to accept this very inadequate return for the varied information with which you have favoured me, and for all your hospitality and kindness to me at Edinburgh and elsewhere.
You are so well known as a traveller in Iceland, and as a warm and generous friend to the Icelander, that you will not be held responsible for my over freedom of speech, nor for any unpopular opinions expressed in the pages honoured by bearing your name.
Pray believe me,
Yours very sincerely,
RICHARD F. BURTON.
