LONDON: PRINTED FOR T. CADELL, IN THE STRAND: M.DCC.XCII. 745984-190 TO THE QUEEN. MADAM, I BEG leave to offer my acknowledgments for the permission you have given me to shelter this small volume under your Majesty's name. But I make the less apology for obtruding myself on your notice, convinced, as I am, that the humblest attempt to recall mankind to a sense of religious and moral duty, will be favourably received by a Personage, who, though seated on that eminence which commands observation, has been on all hands confeffedly exemplary in the various virtues of her high station. Long may the peace and profperity of your Majesty's throne remain undisturbed. And many, many years may you continue to live, as you do at present, in the hearts of your affectionate people ! Thus prays your Majesty's most dutiful subject and servant, SEPTIMUS HODSON. |
