DEDICATION. To the community which possesses taste for the Arts, zeal for letters and liberality of feeling, devoted to commerce, and yet finding leisure to patronize merit, engaged in honorable schemes of wealth, but opposed to the sordid love of money, which graduates its hospitality by desert, and bestows its favor with discrimination, which holds the first rank in this nation for its enlightened and honorable attachment to native Literature, TO THE CITIZENS OF BOSTON, This work, the solace of my hours of leisure is most respectfully inscribed by THE AUTHOR. |
