CAMILLA:
OR,
A PICTURE OF YOUTH
BY
THE AUTHOR OF
_EVELINA_ and _CECILIA_
TO THE
QUEEN
MADAM,
That Goodness inspires a confidence, which, by divesting respect of
terror, excites attachment to Greatness, the presentation of this little
Work to Your Majesty must truly, however humbly, evince; and though a
public manifestation of duty and regard from an obscure Individual may
betray a proud ambition, it is, I trust, but a venial--I am sure it is a
natural one.
