I HUMBLY beg leave to offer you these two Volumes[22]; they are the
best my talents, with such bad health as I have, could produce:—had
Providence granted me a larger stock of either, they had been a much
more proper present to your Lordship.
I beg your Lordship will forgive me, if, at the same time I dedicate
this work to you, I join Lady SPENCER, in the liberty I take of
inscribing the story of _Le Fever_ to her name; for which I have no
other motive, which my heart has informed me of, but that the story is
a humane one.
