MY DEAR SIR,

Many thanks for your proof, and for your truly gratifying mention of my

name. I think the subject excellently chosen, the introduction exactly

what it should be, the allusion to the International Copyright question

most honourable and manly, and the whole scheme full of the highest

interest. I had already seen your prospectus, and if I can be of the

feeblest use in advancing a project so intimately connected with an end

on which my heart is set--the liberal education of the people--I shall

be sincerely glad. All good wishes and success attend you!

Believe me always,

Faithfully yours.

[Sidenote: Mr. Dudley Costello.]
