MY DEAR MlLMAN, 



Had our mutual friend Lord Macaulay 

 been yet alive, I should probably have sought to 

 inscribe to him the volume I am now publishing. 

 Will you permit me to ask you, as one of those 

 to whom he was most warmly attached, to give it, 

 in his stead, the sanction of your name ; and to 

 accept this Dedication as some slight memorial of 

 our long friendship, as well as of my admiration 

 of those various writings with which you have 

 enriched English literature. 



Ever yours affectionately, 



H. HOLLAND. 



THE VERY REV. THE DEAN OF ST. PAUL'S.
