ΤΟ G. I. GUTHRIE, ESQ., F. R. S. &c. &c. &c. DEAR SIR, The language of gratitude and friendship is so powerful as well as simple, that I need seek none other in requesting your acceptance of these volumes. I will not apologise to you for any want of merit discoverable in them, since I am fully aware that none are such lenient judges of the performances of others, as those who most abound in genius and ability them selves. Ever, dear Sir, Permit me to remain Your obliged and faithful W. JOHNSON NEALE. |
