TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF KENT.
Madam,
Your Royal Highness having been pleased to inspect, with some apparent interest, the portfolios of original drawings from which the illustrations of the annexed volume have been selected, I have ventured to solicit permission to inscribe the Work to Your Royal Highness.
It has little merit, perhaps, except fidelity of representation. But, claiming this for it, I presume to hope that it may obtain Your Royal Highness’s indulgent consideration, even though it should be found more deficient in other respects than I am willing to believe.
I have the honour to be,
Madam,
With profound respect,
Your Royal Highness’s
Most obedient
Humble Servant,
THE AUTHOR.
