TO THE HON. COURT OF DIRECTORS, OF THE East India Company
HONORABLE SIRS, A work professedly undertaken with the view to promote the welfare, and to facilitate the progress, of those young gentlemen who may, from time to time, be appointed to situations under your several Presidencies, will, I flatter myself, receive from your Honorable Court that encouragement the importance of the subject solicits, and to which my own good intentions may justly offer a claim. Under your auspices, my labors cannot fail to prove of public utility, as well as to reward that zeal, and that assiduity, with which they have proceeded, under the alluring hope of meriting the approbation of your Honorable Court. I have the honor to be, HONORABLE SIRS, Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS WILLIAMSON London, January 1, 1810. |
