TO THE
RIGHT REV. CHARLES RICHARD,
LORD BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.

My Lord,

I have been induced to solicit the honour of dedicating this little work to your Lordship from the conviction that its contents are not only consonant with the Doctrines and Articles of that Church of which your Lordship is so bright an ornament, but that they are in unison with the truths of Divine Revelation, that perfect standard by which all Theology and Morality must be judged. My object in presenting it to the Public is a wish to render the Scriptures more familiar to the young: and while I feel grateful for the honour of your Lordship's sanction, allow me to express my sincere thanks for the favour you have conferred on one who is, with the greatest respect,

My Lord,
Your Lordship's very obliged Servant,
The Authoress.

August 18th, 1828.
