TO ALEXANDER WILLIAM KINGLAKE, Esq. M.P., ETC., ETC.

My Dear Kinglake,—If you should ever turn over these pages, I have no greater wish than that they might afford you a tithe of the pleasure I have derived from your own writings. But I will not ask you to read me, but to believe that I am, in all sincerity your devoted admirer, for both your genius and your courage, and your attached friend,

CHARLES LEVER. Trieste, August 31, 1868.
