DEDICATION.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mr. Henry Holt: Dear Sir,—

Will you allow me, from feelings of sincere gratitude, to dedicate to you my little Narrative, which, had it not been for you, I never should have been able to have published; and let me assure you that I shall ever entertain the most devoted feelings of gratitude, for your kind and humane interference in my behalf, when I was a helpless slave.

I remain yours, most gratefully, H. WATSON.
