GOVERNOR-GENERAL AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF ALL HIS MAJESTY'S Well aware, my Lord, of the effects produced by splendid talents, great personal worth, and hereditary rank, in promoting any work of benevolence, I solicited and obtained permission to dedicate the following pages to your Excellency. It is quite unnecessary to speak here of your Lordship's deeds; they are too recent, too illustrious, too intimately connected with the history and the glory of the British Empire. Wishing your Excellency long to enjoy a reputation thus acquired and merited, I have the honour to remain, Now-York, 1st May, 182r.“ Your Lordship's Mest obedient, humble servant, JAS. BUCHANAN. b |
