DEDICATION ΤΟ JOSEPH R. CHANDLER, Esq. MY DEAR CHANDLER,-As these Letters were written to you, it is meet that the volume in which they are printed should be inscribed to your name. I do not offer it to you as a thing of much intrinsic value; but it affords me, equally well with a book of more ambitious pretensions, the opportunity to record publicly the cordial friendship with which our pleasant intercourse and the many excellent qualities of your head and heart have inspired me, and to make open acknowledgment of the numerous acts of kindness for which I am your debtor. Having thus, in yielding to the promptings of my own heart, satisfied the claims of grateful friendship, it only remains for me to subscribe myself, as in all sincerity I do, Your Friend and faithful Servant, E. C. WINES. |
