IV DEDICATION. 



and sunny scenes of my life. Yes, the pleasures 

 of my mountain sport are indeed at an end ; but my 

 deep gratitude towards those, through whose kind- 

 ness and hospitality I enjoyed both that sport, and 

 the delightful society by which it was varied, has not 

 passed away with the fleeting hours, but has rather 

 been strengthened by time and circumstances. 



Happy still in the enjoyment of that steady 

 friendship you have condescended to bestow upon 

 me, 



I have the honour to remain, 



With great respect and regard, 

 Your Grace's most obliged 

 and obedient Servant, 



THE AUTHOR.
