ΤΟ JOHN WILSON-PATTEN, ESQ. M. P. SIR, By your kind permission I dedicate these Volumes to you; and although I fear they may hardly merit the favor you confer upon me, in permitting your name to be attached to them, still, I feel assured you will appreciate the dedication of them to you as a faithful acknowledgment of that deep respect which, in common with my fellowtownsmen of all religious and political opinions, it has ever given me pleasure to cherish towards you. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your very obliged and very humble Servant, Warrington, 20th May, 1850. GEORGE HUGHES. |
