1817.
TO
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
THE PRINCE REGENT.
Sir,
Your Royal Highness having graciously condescended to extend your august patronage and protection to this work, I cannot present it to the public, without testifying how deeply sensible I am of this most gracious mark of your Royal Highness’s approbation.
I am perfectly aware that no merit of the performance can give it pretensions to so exalted a patronage; yet to whom can this publication with so much propriety be addressed, as to that illustrious and magnanimous Prince, who, by his wisdom and councils, during the most arduous contest in which any nation was ever engaged, preserved us in the quiet enjoyment of that land, and, under whose auspicious guidance and government, has been raised to the highest pinnacle of glory that country, the topography and picturesque beauties of which it is the principal design of the following pages to illustrate.
That your Royal Highness may long live to be the ornament of society, the delight and boast of a grateful and admiring nation, is the ardent wish of,
Sir,
Your Royal Highness’s
most grateful,
most dutiful,
and most devoted servant,
EDWARD MOGG.
