 Commander-in-Chief, SfC. Sfc, of Bermuda, or Sumers' 

 Islands. 



Sib, — It is with the highest gratification that I avail myself 

 of your kind permission to dedicate this volume to your Excel- 

 lency — not only as a memento of my personal esteem, but 

 from a conviction that no one can more appreciate any efforts 

 in behalf of this Colony than your Excellency, who has the 

 power of rendering them available. 



I have had the pleasure of finding myself encouraged in the 

 publication of this work by numerous subscribers ; but to 

 your Excellency I am indebted for many additions to the 

 names that adorn the list. 



I have the honour to subscribe myself, with every sentiment 

 of gratitude and respect, 



Your Excellency's 



Very obliged and humble servant, 



T. L. GODET.
