I embrace this opportunity, of paying a public teftirnony of my gratitude, for your many favours to me. Permit me alfo to celebrate your public fpirit your zealous and faithful fervice of your country your focial and domeftic virtues, c. which have en deared you to all your acquaintance, and to all who have heard your names, and make you more illuftrious, than can any high founding titles. All who know you, will readily acquit me of fervility and flattery, in this addrefs. Dedications founded on thefe motives, are the difgrace of literature, and an infult to common fenfe. There are too many inftances of this proftitution in Great Britain, for it to be fuffered in A merica. Num bers of high feated patrons are praifed for their divine wifdom and godlike virtues, and yet the whole empire is difcontented, and America in ftrong convulfions.
