Edinburgh: T. and A. Constable, Printers to His Majesty To THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR Lord High Chamberlain to H.M. the King of Spain, etc.
My dear Duke,
Some of the pleasantest of my many pleasant memories of Spain are associated with, as indeed they were derived from, the sympathy you have displayed in my work and the great kindness I ever received from the Duchess of Sotomayor and yourself. For these, I hope, sufficient reasons—not as one who seeks to liquidate a heavy debt of hospitality, but rather rejoices in his obligations—I beg you to accept this dedication and permit me to associate your illustrious name with this modest volume.
I am, My dear Duke, Your obliged and ever grateful, ALBERT F. CALVERT.
