OR, THE LIFE OF AN AUTHOR. BY THOMAS MILLER, AUTHOR OF 46 A DAY IN THE WOODS," "BEAUTIES OF THE COUNTRY," RURAL SKETCHES," "FAIR ROSAMOND,' ""ROYSTON GOWER," 64 LADY JANE GREY," ΤΟ ROBERT HARRISON, Esq. FRIEND HARRISON, I FEEL more honoured in linking your name, as a Gentleman and a Merchant, with this Volume, than I can find words to express in this sincere and honest Dedication. Better the book might have been, had I paid more regard to your suggestions. But you know my headstrong infirmity; and greatly as I respect my Monitor, I have ever insisted upon having my own way. Your firm friendship and unceasing kindness are other matters, which I cannot pass in silence, although the world can never know all the patience and endurance which you have shown to THE AUTHOR OF GODFREY MALVERN. |
