DEDICATION. 7 



a very great difference in the conduct of 

 landholders ; for there are many who would 

 as soon lend their wives for a day, as their 

 manors. Your kindness, sir, and that of 

 several others in Norfolk and Suffolk, places 

 me beyond the disagreeable predicament of 

 receiving a refusal on application to them. 



That you may live many years to con- 

 tinue that liberal and sumptuous hospi- 

 tality, which have so much distinguished 

 Holkham Hall, since it has been your 

 country residence, and that you may enjoy 

 every happiness in this world, is the sincere 

 wish of 



Sir, your most respectful. 



Most devoted. 

 And grateful humble servant, 



George Hanger.
