MY LORD, THE style and genius of dedications, in general, have neither done honour to the patron nor to the author. Sensible of this, we intended to have published a work, which has been the labour of years, without the usual mode of soliciting protection. An accident has brought us into the number of dedicators. Had not you accompanied your noble father to our humble retreat, we should still have been unacquainted with your growing virtues, - your extraordinary erudition, and perfect knowledge of the Greek language and learning; and Plutarch would have remained as he did in his retirement at Chaeronea, where he sought no patronage but in the bosom of philosophy. Accept, my Lord, this honest token of respect, from men, who, equally independent and unambitious, wish only for the countenance of genius and friendship. Praise, my Lord, is the usual language of dedications: But will our praise be of value to you?-Will any praise be of value to you, but that of your own heart ? Follow the example of the EARL OF RADNOR, your illustrious father. Like, him maintain that temperate spirit of policy, which consults the dignity of government, while it supports the liberty of the subject. But we put into your hands the best of political preceptors, - a preceptor who trained to virtue the greatest monarch upon earth; and, by giving happiness to the world, enjoyed a pleasure something like that of the Benevolent Being who created it. We are, MY LORD, Your LORDSHIP'S Most obedient, and Very humble Servants, J. & W. Langhorne. § (Dedication / Vorwort) (III / IV) Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
