IV DEDICATION. 



Much of my subsequent happiness has been 

 derived from those early impressions and instruc- 

 tions. 



To you, then, my dear father and mother, 

 I dedicate this little work ; and I hope that you 

 will not consider so insignificant an offering as 

 the literal index to the amount of gratitude 

 and respect which is, and always has been, 

 entertained for you by 



YOUR TKULY AFFECTIONATE SON.
