My dear Sir,
I dedicate to you this second volume of "THE MODERN SCOTTISH MINSTREL,"
as a sincere token of my estimation of your long continued and most
disinterested friendship, and of the anxiety you have so frequently
evinced respecting the promotion of my professional views and literary
aspirations.
I have the honour to be,
My dear Sir,
your most obliged,
and very faithful servant,
CHARLES ROGERS.
Argyle House, Stirling,
_December 1855._
