Op Port Dakwin. Dear A., To your vice and encouragement is owihg in a great measure, the appearance of this, my first work, in its present form. If you were at all cynically Lclined, I think you would consider it rather hard to be made a scapegoat of to such an extent; but, as you will, notwithstanding the many shortcomings of the book now inscribed to you, be only gratified that you were thus instrumental in its completion, I neesay no more on kt score. You may remember an incident which is told of an orator of olden times, who, upon being warmly applauded by a large assembly, asked one near if he had said anything very foolish.
