TO THE 
L ' 
Madam, 
I Account it more a Duty than a P refumption, to appear 
to Tour Majefty, though with fuch a Trifle as the fol- 
lowing Book ; and therefore chofe to break through 
that Difficulty, rather than to be guilty of fuch a Fault, 
of letting flip any Opportunity in which I might let 
Tour Majefty know, with what a Profound Refpecl I approach 
Tour Great Prefence. 
Our Great If and, which ever fince the Memory of Man, 
has been divided into two diftind Kingdoms, of different 
Names, Powers, Governments, Religions, Cuftoms, Affections and 
Interefts, your Majefty has United and Made one. It was 
what your Great and Royal Anceftors, with all their 
Power and Induftry, were never able to perform : But 
it was a Work, the Honour of which, the Supreme Powers re- 
lerv’d for Ton. This UNION of the Britifh Nations, was an 
Undertaking fo Great in its Performance, fo Nolle in its Kind, 
fo Admirable in its Effects, fo Defirable in its Good, lb Singular 
in its Appearances, and fo Profound in its Struct are ; that none 
could have been able to have done it, but a Greatnefs of Mind 
like Tours : One of a Superlative Prudence and Refolution, of 
an Unwearied Induftry, of an Unmatcbable zn&Unfbaken Zeal for 
the Publick Good ; of a Magnanimous Soul, lnfpird with the 
Holy Spirit of the Immortal GOD. 
You have Madam by this UNION, fhut up the Back-Door, 
by which Great Britain was always liable to be Allaulted ; 
and thereby have added a Jewel more to the Imperial Crown 
and Adorn'd it with an Illuftration, the Greatdland moft 
defirable
