OF THE LATE 



JOSEPH CROSSLEY, Esquire, 



OF 



BROOMFIELD, HALIFAX, 



WHO WAS 



MY KIND AND VALUED FRIEND ; MY FAITHFUL AND JUDICIOUS ADVISER ; 



AND MY ZEALOUS AND EFFICIENT PATRON. 



TO HIM 



f lis ^ahmt 





WOULD, HAD HE LIVED, HAVE BEEN INSCRIBED, 



BUT IS NOW 



AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED. 



HIS RARE MODESTY, MANLY BEARING, LARGE-HEARTED GENEROSITY, 



CATHOLIC PHILANTHROPY, AND HIS CHRISTIAN VIRTUES, 



ENDEARED HIM 



TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM ; ESPECIALLY TO THE WRITER, WHO, 



IN MANY A RAMBLE AND MANY A RIDE, 



DURING SIXTEEN YEARS OP UNINTERRUPTED FRIENDSHIP AND INTERCOURSE, 



DISCOVERED, IN HIS LIFE AND CHARACTER, QUALITIES 



WHICH RENDERED 



HIS FRIENDSHIP A SOURCE OF THE HIGHEST AND PUREST PLEASURE, 



AND HIS DEATH 



THE OCCASION OF THE DEEPEST SORROW.
