THOMAS MARSHAM, ESQ. 



T. L. S. P. R. I. 



DEAR SIR, 



To whom can I Inscribe this little work, 

 such as it is, with more propriety, than to him 

 whose partiality first urged me to undertake it ; 

 and whose kind assistance and liberal communica- 

 tions have contributed so largely to bring it to a 

 concUision. 



Accept it, therefore, my dear Sir, as a small 

 token of esteem for many virtues, and of grati- 

 tude for many favors, conferred upon 



YOUR OBLIGED 



AND AFFECTIONATE FRIEND, 



THE AUTHOR. -^
