TO THE HONOURABLE SIR HENRY HAWKINS.
My dear Sir Henry:
It gives me very great pleasure to be allowed to dedicate this book to you. I hope you will accept it as a token of thanks for much kindness, of your former Marshal's pleasant memory of his service, and of sincere respect for a clear-sighted, firm, and compassionate Judge.
Your affectionate cousin, A. H. H.
