DEDICATION
Such patronage is most valuable: like Mercy,
"it is twice blessed';
It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes:"
and powerfully elicits the feeling of unqualified respect, with which, in presenting these Volumes, I have the honor to subscribe myself,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
CHARLES SWAN.
London, June 9, 1824.
