THE KING'S

MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY

SIRE, The Author of this Collection of Works of Fiction would not have presumed to solicit for them your Majesty's August Patronage, were it not that the perusal has been supposed n some instances, to have succeeded in amusing hours of reaxation, or relieving those of languor, pain, or anxiety; and therefore must have so far aided the warmest wish of your Majesty's heart, by contributing in however small a degree to the happiness of your people.

They are therefore humbly dedicated to your Majesty, agreeably to your gracious permission by Your Majesty's Dutiful Subject.

ABBOTSFORD, 1st January, 1829.
