TO MY OLD AND VALUED FRIEND, 
ABRAHAM BURROWS, Esa., 
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE FOR THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER, 
AND LATE ALDERMAN OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL OF LANCASHIRE, 
THIS LITTLE PAMPHLET IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, 
PARTLY ON ACCOUNT OF OUR VERY LONG FRIENDSHIP, BUT 
ESPECIALLY IN MEMORY OF THE EFFORTS HE MADE 
EIGHT OR TEN YEARS SINCE TO OBTAIN A FAIR HEARING 
FOR THE FACTS AND A FAIR CONSIDERATION 
FOR THE CONCLUSIONS EMBODIED IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES.
