DEDICATION.

To RICHARD HARRISON, ESQ. OF N. YORK,

COUNSELLOR AT LAW.

ŞIR,

PERHAPS an apology is due to you for my not having obtained your previous permission to dedicate this little work to your protection. But well knowing that modesty is ever allied to real worth, I was fearful of being forbidden thus publicly to acknowledge how highly I venerate your strict integrity, exalted talents, and extensive information, and with what heart-felt gratitude I delight to dwell upon your uniform personal kindness to,

SIR,

Your most obliged

and obedient Servant,

JOHN BRISTED.

No. 2 Hudson Square, New-York, 20th March, 1811.
