    TO THK RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF HADDINGTON, LORD PRIVY SEAL, &CC. &e. &;C. My Lord, When I sought permission to place your name at the head of this volume, I felt, you being then First Lord of the Admiralty, that it was not unbecoming in me to ask, and might not be unworthy of your Lordship to grant, the favour; inasmuch as I was satisfied, that such an Essay, to promote the well-being of the great division of the public service over which you presided, would be received with indulgence, at least; that approba- tion even would not be withheld, should it contribute, in any measure, to that important end. Though not now directing the Naval Force of the Country, your interest in it, and in the principal subject of these Notes con- sequently, is doubtless unabated; I have therefore the honour of dedicating them to your Lordship, and of sub- scribing myself. My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, and respectful Servant, John Wilson. January 10///, 1846.
