DEDICATION. 



sentation might tempt to emigrate ; and to pre- 

 vent the ruin of many a family, by an unadorn- 

 ed relation of my own disappointments in Ame- 

 rica. To whom could I inscribe a work of this 

 tendency with so much propriety as to your 

 Royal Highness y who forsook, in the spring of 

 life, the pleasures of a court to maintain the. 

 rights of your august king and father, and 

 submitted to the dangers and hardships of fo- 

 reign campaigns to afford protection to your 

 fellow-subjects ? 



I have the honour to subscribe myself 

 YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESSES 



most obedient 



and devoted humble servant, 



RICHARD PARKINSON.
