HIS EXCELLENCY 



SIK EDMUND HEAD, BAET, 



LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF THE PROVINCE OP NEW BRUNSWICK, 

 &C. &C. 



Dear Sir Edmund, 



I dedicate these volumes to you, 

 partly because they contain, among other matters, the obser- 

 vations I made during a lengthened Tour through the pro- 

 vince of which you are the Governor, and in the prosperity 

 of which you feel so lively an interest. But I do so chiefly 

 as a mode of testifying the respect and regard I entertain 

 for yourself and your family, and as affording me an oppor- 

 tunity of expressing my sense of the many acts of kindness 

 I experienced during a prolonged stay at Fredericton, under 

 your hospitable roof. 



Believe me, dear Sir Edmund, with great respect. 



Your obedient Servant, 



JAMES F. W. JOHNSTON.
