DEDICATION. 
v 
ferve to firengthen my defire of repofing under the 
fhade of your trees, and in the bofom of domefiic 
retirement. 
Happy fhall I be Sir, if in putting thefe volumes into 
your hands, I may in the fmalleft degree contribute to 
your amufement. I feek no other fuccefs, I afk no other 
reward, but to convince you, that the time which I 
have fpent in travelling has not been wholly lofi ; and, 
that in changing climates and countries, I have never 
fwerved from the dutiful refpeCt and tendernefs with 
which I am, and fhall ever be, 
Your very affectionate Son, 
JOSEPH ACERB!.
