Conrad and Co., Samuel F. Bradford, Byrch and Small, and James Humphreys, Philadelphia: Andrews and Cummings, Boston: Peter A. Mesier, New-York, and Edmond Morford, Charleston. FRY AND KAMMERER, PRINTERS. 1807. TO HIS GRACE JOHN, DUKE OF BEDFORD. MY LORD, If the name of your Grace had been rendered illustrious solely by those distinguished Patriots from whom you derived it, my pride could not fail of being eminently gratified by being permitted to dedicate to you the following pages: but other, and infinitely more impressive and honourable emotions are awakened, when I reflect, that in the present descendant of the House of Russel are displayed that patriotic fervor, that lofty spirit of political independence, and that ardent zeal in the great cause of humanity, which distinguished so many of its branches in the annals of this great country. Indeed, my Lord, it is a felicity to be able to attest, from experience, and now to record, the pretensions of your Grace to the gratitude of your country and the love of mankind.
