DEDICATION.

Whenever, in obedience to the inspired penman, my mind is ledto the contemplation :—“ Of whatsoever things are true ; what-soever things are just; whatsoever things are honest; whatsoeverthings are pure ; whatsoever things are lovely ; whatsoever thingsare of good report: whatever is virtuous and praiseworthy—your example, (which I have observed the last twenty-five years)appears before me, as a practical demonstration of these heavenlyprinciples.

It is only the fear that my work will be very imperfect andunworthy of your notice, which prevents my enjoying the highestpleasure and gratitude in thus publicly assuring you with howmuch veneration and devotion,

I am, Rt. Rev. Sir, your friend and servant,

George S. Whitte.
