    TO THOMAS KOSCOE, ESQ. My dear Mr. Roscoe, This Book could never be to me the source of a deeper pleasure than X feel in dedi- cating it to you. There is no one to whom I I could offer such a tribute with more sincerity of ad- r miration and regard. It would, however, be little \ graceful in me to expatiate on your learning and l literary power, when these have a durable monu- sj ment in every work that has proceeded from your | accomplished pen. My affectionate eulogium could j only repeat those public praises which have ex- 1 tended your reputation wherever Letters are * known. It is, too, more delightful to record this ; testimony to a personal attachment which con- ; tinually increases, and to a respect which has not ( only survived familiarity, but is heightened by the intercourse of every hour.
