OF THE GENEALOGIES OF THE IMPERIAL HOUSE OF AND OF THE SIX SECULAR ELECTORS OF GERMANY; AND OF ROMAN, GERMAN, FRENCH AND ENGLISH NOBILITY. By CHARLES BUTLER, Esq. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, AND BROWN, PATERNOSTER-ROW. Sir John Courtenay Throckmorton, BART. DEAR SIR, IT was my intention to dedicate these Sheets to Mr. Fox: To whom can I now dedicate them with more propriety than You? Your approbation of his political principles and conduct, and personal attachment to him, are generally known;-All his friends are sensible of his high esteem of you.-I myself heard that great man say, he scarcely knew a person from whom it was less safe to differ than Sir JOHN THROCKMORTON. Permit me, therefore, to inscribe the last, as I did the first, of these compilations, with your name. Lincoln's Inn, 1807. I am, dear Sir, Your most obliged and obedient humble Servant, CHARLES BUTLER. |
