I beg to assure your Royal Highness, that itwill ever be the proudest feeling of my heart, thatmy very humble production should have been usheredinto public notice, under the auspices of a Patroness,whose exalted virtues have secured her universalesteem and respect, and made her the admiration ofthat sex, of which she is the distinguished and presidingornament.

With every sentiment of devotion, I am,

Madam,
